| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of the emperor Trajan facing right, depicted nude with an aegis draped over the left shoulder, a characteristic Alexandrian convention blending Roman imperial imagery with Hellenistic divine attributes. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic strong facial features with short, tightly curled hair beneath the laurel wreath. The legend is disposed around the bust in Greek characters, reading partially visible around the flan. The flan is irregular and shows several edge chips consistent with Alexandrian bronze coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 13 of Trajan's reign marked a high point of Roman imperial ambition — the Dacian Wars had concluded with Decebalus's defeat and suicide in 106 AD, and the subsequent influx of Dacian gold fundamentally altered Rome's fiscal position. Alexandrian bronze coinage of this period reflects an active and well-supplied mint, producing large module pieces at volumes consistent with a province generating enormous agricultural and trade revenue for the empire.
The regnal year dating system used at Alexandria — here ΙΓ for year 13 — is what makes these provincials so precisely attributable when Roman imperial dating often leaves a range.
