| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, viewed from the rear, rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style with bold, high-relief modelling. The emperor wears a finely detailed laurel wreath and cuirass, with drapery visible over the left shoulder. The Greek legend encircles the bust within a dotted border, occupying the full periphery of the flan. The portrait displays the characteristic strong-jawed Trajanic effigy type standard to Alexandrian coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 18 of Trajan's reign coincided with his Parthian campaign, the most ambitious Roman military operation since Augustus — and the last time Rome would ever hold Mesopotamia. Alexandria's mint was unusually productive during these eastern war years, supplying bronze coinage for a province whose economy ran almost entirely on locally-struck, non-transferable currency. Alexandrian bronzes did not circulate outside Egypt; a soldier paid in these coins on the Nile was effectively tethered to the province's own monetary ecosystem.
The regnal year date, LΙΗ, places this piece precisely in 114–115 AD, just before Trajan's health began its terminal decline on the return march.
