| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of the falcon-headed god Haroeris (Horus the Elder) depicted in cuirassed form, facing right, wearing the solar disk atop ram's horns upon his head, holding a spear in his right hand and a crocodile in his left hand. A second crocodile is positioned before the deity in the field, referencing the sacred crocodile cult of the Ombite nome. The regnal date appears in the field as a Greek numeral, situating the issue precisely within Trajan's reign. The composition exemplifies the syncretic Egypto-Roman iconography characteristic of Alexandrian nome coinage. |

The Ombite nome was one of the administrative districts of Roman Egypt, centered on the city of Ombos (modern Kom Ombo) in the far south near the First Cataract. Nome coinage issued under Trajan forms part of a distinctive series produced at Alexandria in which individual administrative districts received their own reverse types — a practice confined almost entirely to his reign and reflecting an unusual moment of administrative self-consciousness in Roman Egypt's provincial coinage.
The regnal year indicator places this piece precisely within Trajan's reign, the twelfth year falling in 108/109 AD, when the emperor was absorbed in preparations for the First Dacian War's aftermath and the Parthian campaign was still years away.
