| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ ΤΡΑΙΑΝ ϹΕΒ ΓΕΡ ΔΑΚΙΚ (Translation: Emperor Trajan Augustus Germanicus Dacicus) |
| Reverse description | Standing figure of the youthful Sobek-Kronos depicted facing left, holding a harpa in the left hand and a bust of Premarres (the deified Pharaoh Amenemhet III) facing right in the right hand, a syncretic representation linking Egyptian and Greek divine traditions specific to the Arsinoite nome. A crocodile, the sacred animal of Sobek, is placed before the deity at lower left. The composition is characteristic of the distinctive nome coinage struck under Trajan for the Arsinoite nome, celebrating local religious cults of the Fayum region. The Greek legend and regnal year are disposed around the field, with the date rendered in alphabetic numerals. |
