| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, with aegis visible on the left shoulder. The imperial effigy is rendered in the typical Alexandrian provincial style, with bold, slightly stylized features. The Greek legend runs around the periphery of the field, partially bordered by a dotted inner circle. The portrait conveys authority through its strong profile and elaborate laurel wreath. |

| Reverse description | A Roman military trophy erected on a pole, consisting of a helmet, cuirass, and crossed arms, with two captives seated or kneeling at its base — one to the left and one to the right — symbolizing Trajan's victories in the Dacian Wars. The regnal year legend L ΕΝΑΤΟΥ (Year 9) appears in the field, distributed to left and right of the trophy. The composition is enclosed within a dotted border, typical of Alexandrian tetradrachm coinage of this period. |
