| Obverse description | Radiate and draped bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, wearing a wreath adorned with ears of corn and an aegis on the left shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the vigorous Alexandrian provincial style, with the emperor depicted as a heroic nude bust. The obverse legend, arranged in the field around the portrait, identifies the emperor with his full titulature in Greek characters. |

| Reverse description | Two standing figures occupy the reverse field. At left, Nilus stands facing left, holding a reed in his right hand and a cornucopia in his left, personifying the fertile Nile River. To his right, Euthenia — the personification of abundance and prosperity — stands facing left, raising one arm and holding two ears of corn in the other hand. The composition reflects the prosperity of Alexandrian Egypt under Roman imperial rule. The regnal year date appears in the field as the sole legend. |
