| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, half-length bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, depicted nude with an aegis draped over the left shoulder, rendered in the bold provincial style characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. The effigy presents the emperor in a heroic, semi-divine manner consistent with Roman imperial iconography of the Trajanic period. The surrounding field carries the imperial titulature legend in Greek characters. The strike is typical of the Alexandrian mint, with characteristic broad flan and slightly uneven relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 17 of Trajan's reign in Egypt — the dating system Alexandria maintained independently of the Roman consular calendar — places this issue in the middle of his Dacian and Parthian war period, when imperial coinage across the empire was running hot to fund campaigns. The Alexandrian mint answered to the prefect of Egypt, not the Roman senate, making its output administratively distinct from anything struck at Rome.
