| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Dacia, depicted as a mourning female figure seated left upon a pile of arms and shields, her head bowed in an attitude of dejection and submission, symbolising the Roman conquest of the Dacian kingdom. To her left stands a trophy composed of captured arms and armour, further emphasising Roman martial triumph. The reverse composition is a powerful propagandistic statement commemorating Trajan's Dacian Wars. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the field, flanking the central reverse legend. |

Trajan's Dacian campaigns concluded with the sack of Sarmizegetusa in 106 AD and the transformation of Dacia into a Roman province — an annexation so strategically significant that it was commemorated across multiple coin series over several years. The S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI formula, granting Trajan the title "Best of Princes," was formally conferred by the Senate in 114 AD but appears on coinage minted well before that date, reflecting the Senate's incremental deference to a general whose Dacian victories had flooded Rome with an estimated 165 tonnes of gold and over 330 tonnes of silver in war spoils.
The broad date range of this issue reflects sustained senatorial production rather than a single emission.
