| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, portrayed nude with an aegis draped over the left shoulder, rendered in the naturalistic Roman imperial style characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. The portrait exhibits finely detailed hair beneath the laurel wreath, with strong facial features typical of Trajanic portraiture. The Greek legend is disposed around the periphery of the flan, partially visible despite the coin's irregular edge. The overall style reflects the hybrid Greco-Roman artistic tradition of the Alexandrian imperial mint. |
