| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, with light drapery visible on the left shoulder, rendered in fine provincial style. The emperor's effigy displays characteristic curled hair beneath the laurel wreath, with strong facial features in high relief. A circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait, reading ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙΣ ΝΕΡ ΤΡΑΙΑΝ ΣΕΒ ΓΕΡΜ, abbreviating his imperial titulature as Autocrator Caesar Nerva Traianus Sebastos Germanicus. The flan is slightly irregular and the die work reflects competent provincial engraving consistent with issues of Cyrenaica under Trajan. |

| Reverse description | Bare-headed bust of Zeus Ammon facing right, distinguished by the prominent ram's horn curling above and behind the ear, a defining iconographic attribute of the Libyan deity. The god is depicted with a full, elaborately curled beard and flowing locks, rendered in robust high relief characteristic of Cyrenaican provincial coinage. A dotted border frames the design, with the Greek legend ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ΕΞ ΥΠΑΤ Γ — abbreviating Trajan's tribunician and consular titles — distributed around the field. The imagery of Zeus Ammon on the reverse reflects the deep religious significance of the oracle at Siwa and the cult's enduring prominence in the Cyrenaican region. |
