The portrait is rendered with fine Classical detail, capturing the empress's refined features in sharp relief. The encircling legend reads PLOTINA AVG IMP TRAIANI in Latin capitals along the periphery of the flan. |

Plotina, wife of Trajan, was awarded the title Augusta only after considerable delay — Trajan reportedly declined to grant it immediately upon his accession in 98 AD, and she is said to have responded to the honor with conspicuous reluctance, a story preserved in Cassius Dio. Her coinage is correspondingly sparse relative to imperial consorts of comparable standing, issued in limited series across a reign that stretched nearly two decades.
RIC II 732 places this aureus within Trajan's sixth consulship, dating it to 112–117 AD. Plotina's role in securing the succession of Hadrian — whom she reputedly favored — was still years or months away when these dies were cut.
