| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, nude with an aegis draped over the left shoulder, rendered in the imperial Roman portrait style typical of Alexandrian coinage. The effigy displays finely engraved hair beneath the laurel wreath, with strong facial features in high relief. A Greek legend encircles the bust, reading in abbreviated form the emperor's full titulature. The dotted border frames the design, consistent with Alexandrian provincial mint practice. |

| Reverse description | Euthenia, the personification of abundance and prosperity, reclines to the right atop a sphinx. She holds a sceptre in one hand while her other hand rests upon her head in a pose of ease. To the right of the composition, an ewer is depicted on a pedestal, serving as an additional symbol of fertility and plenty. The regnal year legend appears in the field, rendered in Greek numerals. The overall design reflects the distinctive iconographic programme of Alexandrian civic coinage under Trajan. |
