Additional information

Year 13 of Trajan's reign in Egypt corresponds to 109–110 AD, a period when Alexandria's mint was operating at high volume to support the emperor's preparations for the Dacian settlement and early Parthian ambitions. Alexandrian bronze coinage of this era was struck on a regnal-year system unique to Egypt — a Roman province treated as the emperor's personal estate, its mint answerable to imperial fiscal administration rather than the Senate. The LΙΓ date formula is the Egyptian way of expressing that year, lambda-iota-gamma in Greek.
