| Obverse description | Laureate, nude bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, with an aegis draped over the left shoulder, rendered in the characteristic Alexandrian provincial style. The imperial effigy displays finely engraved hair beneath the laurel wreath, with strong facial features typical of Trajanic portraiture. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust, running along the coin's periphery within the field. |

| Reverse description | Sarapis depicted standing to the left, his right arm raised in a gesture of benediction, while his left hand firmly holds a tall sceptre. The syncretic deity wears a modius (kalathos) atop his head, and his robes fall in flowing folds characteristic of Alexandrian divine iconography. To the lower left, Cerberus, the three-headed guardian of the underworld, stands as Sarapis's sacred companion. The regnal date legend L Κ (year 20) is placed in the field, flanking the figure on either side. |
