| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two standing allegorical figures in the field: Eirene (Peace) depicted standing to the right, holding ears of corn in her extended hand, while Homonoia (Concord) stands to the left at her side, holding a double cornucopia. The pairing of these two personifications symbolises the prosperity and harmony of Trajan's reign. The regnal year in Egyptian dating appears in the legend, a hallmark of Alexandrian civic coinage. A beaded border frames the composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 16 of Trajan's reign in Egypt, corresponding to 112–113 AD, fell during the emperor's intensive preparations for the Parthian campaign — a war he would launch the following year. The pairing of Eirene and Homonoia on an Alexandrian issue at this precise moment was almost certainly deliberate political messaging, projecting civic harmony and peace inward while the machinery of eastern conquest was already turning.
Alexandrian bronzes of this size were produced for local circulation only, never leaving Egypt's closed monetary system.
