| Reverse description | A Roman eagle stands facing, with wings spread and head turned to the left, perched atop a thunderbolt rendered in the lower field. The bird is depicted with detailed feathering across the wings and body, conveying the imperial power and divine favour associated with Jupiter. The circular Latin legend is disposed around the periphery of the flan, proclaiming Trajan's fifth consulship, his title of Pater Patriae, and the dedication from the Senate and Roman people honouring him as Optimus Princeps. The composition is bold and centrally placed, consistent with the finest aurei of the Roman Imperial period. |
