Additional information

Year 16 of Trajan's reign fell during the peak of his Dacian war spending and the administrative consolidation that followed. Alexandria's mint was producing bronze at scale for Egyptian circulation, where the closed currency system — distinct from the rest of the empire — kept these coins entirely local. They did not travel. Roman Egypt ran its own denominational logic, and Alexandrian bronzes found outside the province are genuinely unusual in the archaeological record.
