| Obverse description | Laureate draped bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, with paludamentum (military cloak) visible at the shoulder truncation. The portrait is rendered in the authoritative Trajanic style, with a strong, idealized profile characteristic of early second-century Roman imperial coinage. The surrounding field carries a continuous Latin legend reading IMP CAES NERVAE TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P COS V P P, enumerating the emperor's full titulature. The flan is slightly irregular at the edges, consistent with hand-struck hammered production at the Rome mint. |

| Reverse description | The goddess Salus seated right on a throne, draped and turreted, feeding a serpent rising from an altar to her left and holding a sceptre in her left hand. The composition is rendered in the formal, classicizing style of Trajanic bronzes. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the lower field, divided on either side of the throne base. The surrounding circular Latin legend S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI frames the reverse design, expressing the dedication of the Roman Senate and people to their foremost princeps. |
