| Obverse description | Laureate nude bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, with an aegis on the left shoulder. In some die variants, the bust is adorned with a wreath incorporating ears of corn. The legend encircles the effigy, rendered in Greek characters. The style is characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage of the early second century AD, combining Roman imperial portraiture with local artistic conventions. |
