| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, depicted nude with an aegis draped over the left shoulder, rendered in the Alexandrian provincial style with finely detailed hair and laurel wreath. The effigy displays strong portraiture characteristic of Trajanic coinage, with a pronounced profile and naturalistic features. The surrounding legend in Greek characters reads ΑΥΤ ΤΡΑΙΑΝ ϹΕΒ ΓΕΡΜ ΔΑΚΙΚ, identifying the emperor with his full titulature. A dotted border frames the entire obverse field. The overall fabric is broad and irregular, typical of Egyptian provincial bronze issues of the early second century AD. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of the syncretic deity Neith-Athena facing left, clad in a crested helmet and aegis, holding a long spear in the left hand while the right hand rests upon a large round shield set on the ground beside her. The goddess is rendered in a classical Hellenistic style, characteristic of Alexandrian nome coinage that blended Egyptian and Greek religious iconography. The field carries the nome designation ϹΑΙΤΗϹ, identifying the Saite nome of Lower Egypt, along with the regnal year notation L ΙΓ (Year 13). The composition is bold and hieratic, reflecting the religious significance of the nome's patron deity. |
