| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, depicted nude with an aegis draped over the left shoulder, rendered in the typical Alexandrian provincial style. The portrait displays the characteristic features of Trajan's official iconography, with a finely detailed laurel wreath encircling the head. The surrounding legend in Greek characters runs along the coin's periphery. The field shows the broad, slightly irregular flan typical of Egyptian provincial bronze coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 15 of Trajan's reign corresponds to a period of aggressive Roman infrastructure investment in Egypt, including expansion of the canal linking the Nile to the Red Sea — a project Trajan pushed to near-completion, reportedly along the route of an earlier Ptolemaic channel. Alexandrian bronze issues of this regnal year are tied to a local dating system anchored to the Egyptian calendar, which is why the L ΙΕ notation functions as a year marker rather than a mintmaster's mark.
The 34mm module places this among the larger Alexandrian bronzes, a size class the mint reserved selectively and not always consistently across reign years.
