| 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. The peripheral legend in Greek characters runs around the bust within the field. The portrait displays the characteristic strong features associated with Trajanic coinage from the Alexandrian mint, with detailed laurel wreath treatment typical of the period. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Chuit-Hathor (the Egyptian goddess in her syncretic Hathor form) depicted facing left, holding a sceptre in the left hand and a hawk wearing the pschent double crown in the right hand. The deity is rendered in the distinctive Egyptianising style characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage under Trajan, combining Greco-Roman artistic conventions with indigenous Egyptian iconographic elements. The regnal year legend L ΙΓ (Year 13) appears in the field alongside the nome designation ΑΘΡΙΒΙΤΗϹ, identifying this as a nome coinage of the Athribite nome. |
