| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, draped and cuirassed, set within a beaded border. The emperor's portrait displays the characteristic strong facial features associated with Trajanic coinage, rendered in the vigorous realist style of early second-century Roman imperial portraiture. The surrounding legend, partially legible due to wear and patination, reads IMP CAES NERVA TRAIAN AVG GERM P M TR P, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The coin exhibits an uneven, irregular flan typical of hammered bronze coinage of this period, with a green patina consistent with long-term burial. The overall strike is moderately well-centered. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Trajan's third consulship ran from 100 AD, and the designation COS III DES IIII — holding his third consulship while already designated for a fourth — places this as precisely as an ancient coin can be dated, to the period just before or coinciding with the opening moves of the First Dacian War in 101. The Victory type on asses from this campaign period was not purely ceremonial; Trajan used his coinage actively as propaganda infrastructure, flooding circulation with types that anticipated and then celebrated the Dacian campaigns before a formal triumph had even been awarded.
