| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, depicted with characteristic strong facial features and close-cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath. The bust is draped and cuirassed, rendered in the vigorous, naturalistic style characteristic of Trajanic imperial portraiture. The encircling legend runs clockwise around the obverse field, giving Trajan's full imperial titulature in abbreviated Latin. The portrait displays fine die-cutting typical of the Rome Mint under Trajan, with strong relief on the facial details. A broad, flat field frames the bust. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a monumental five-arched bridge in three-quarter perspective, identified as the bridge over the River Danube built by Trajan's architect Apollodorus of Damascus, a celebrated engineering achievement of the reign. The bridge is shown with a series of arched spans resting on solid piers, surmounted by a decorative balustrade, with a triumphal arch or gateway visible at the right end. The reverse legend S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI curves around the upper field, while the senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consulto) appears prominently in the lower exergual area. The composition is bold and architecturally precise, reflecting the propagandistic celebration of Trajan's Dacian campaigns and infrastructure. The overall design is characteristic of the high-quality civic reverse types issued from the Rome Mint during this period. |
