| Obverse description | Laureate bust of the emperor Trajan facing right, rendered nude with an aegis draped over the left shoulder, a distinctly Hellenistic iconographic convention employed in Alexandrian coinage. The portrait displays the characteristic strong features and close-cropped hair of Trajan's official effigy. A Greek legend encircles the bust in the outer field, identifying the emperor by his titles. The overall style reflects the local Alexandrian mint tradition, blending Roman imperial portraiture with Egyptian provincial workshop aesthetics. |
