| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of the Emperor Trajan facing right, viewed from the rear, rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style typical of early 2nd-century Egypt. The laureate wreath is rendered with fine detail across the crown, and the paludamentum is visible over the shoulder. The surrounding Greek legend runs along the periphery of the flan. The portrait exhibits strong, authoritative features consistent with official Trajanic portraiture. |

| Reverse description | An Egyptian temple facade with twin pylons is depicted in the center of the field, enclosing a standing figure, identified as Isis, facing right and holding a Canopus jar. An eagle is positioned above the temple structure, wings spread, while a flight of steps occupies the lower register beneath the pylons. The date regnal legend appears in the field. The composition reflects the syncretic Romano-Egyptian religious iconography characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage under Trajan. |
