| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of the Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered in the fine portrait style characteristic of Alexandrian civic coinage. The emperor's features are depicted with individualised naturalism, with laurel wreath bound around the head. The Greek imperial legend runs along the upper and left periphery of the flan. A six-pointed star appears prominently in the lower right field, a distinctive Alexandrian mint mark. The whole is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 17 of Trajan's reign coincided with his final preparations for the Parthian campaign — the most ambitious Roman military undertaking since Augustus. Alexandria's mint was producing heavily during this period, partly to fund logistical demands across the eastern provinces. The billon content of Alexandrian tetradrachms had been quietly degraded through successive reigns, and by L ΙΖ the silver was already well below what Rome's own denarii carried, a disparity the Alexandrian economy had long been sealed off from addressing by deliberate imperial monetary isolation.
