| Reverse description | The personification of Abundantia stands facing, her head turned to the left, draped in flowing robes. In her extended right hand she holds two ears of grain directed downward toward a young boy standing at her left, who holds a roll in his left hand; in her left hand she carries a cornucopiae, symbolic of plenty. The large senatorial SC mark appears in the field flanking the figures, and the reverse legend referencing the Alimenta Italiae — Trajan's celebrated welfare program for Italian children — is inscribed around the periphery. |
