| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered nude with an aegis draped over the left shoulder, a characteristic emblem of divine or imperial authority in Alexandrian coinage. The portrait displays finely detailed hair beneath the laurel wreath, executed in the provincial Egyptian style typical of the Trajanic period. A dotted border (beaded inner circle) frames the field. The Greek legend runs around the periphery identifying the emperor with his full titulature. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 16 of Trajan's reign in Egypt corresponds to 112–113 AD, a moment when the emperor was deep in preparations for his Parthian campaign. Alexandria's mint, operating under Roman prefectural authority rather than the emperor directly, continued producing large bronze issues for local circulation — Roman silver and gold did not circulate freely in Egypt, which maintained its own closed currency system inherited from the Ptolemies. These large Æ denominations were the workhorse of everyday Egyptian commerce.
The III#4666.2A reference places this within the Dattari-Savio corpus, the foundational catalogue for Alexandrian coinage, compiled originally by the Italian banker Giovanni Dattari from his Cairo collection in 1901.
