| Obverse description | Radiate, half-length nude bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, with an aegis draped over the left shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the imperial style typical of Alexandrian provincial coinage, with the radiate crown indicating solar or divine associations. The obverse legend encircles the bust, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The overall design reflects the blend of Roman imperial iconography with Hellenistic Alexandrian artistic conventions. |

| Reverse description | Helios, wearing a radiate crown, depicted standing in a galloping quadriga charging to the right, the four horses rendered in dynamic motion. Above the quadriga, a small unidentified object appears to be carried or accompanied by two birds, possibly an eagle or similar motif, though the exact nature of this element remains uncertain. The regnal date appears in the field. The composition is characteristic of Alexandrian bronze coinage of the Trajanic period, drawing on traditional Hellenistic solar deity imagery. |
