| Reverse description | Schematic architectural representation of the Forum of Trajan viewed in frontal elevation, depicting a colonnaded enclosure with a central gateway flanked by rows of columns supporting statues of standing figures in the intercolumniations. The roofline is surmounted by an elaborate sculptural attic adorned with a row of statuary figures and a central quadriga or trophy group at the apex. The entire composition is rendered in miniaturist detail remarkable for the small flan, capturing the grandeur of one of Rome's greatest imperial building projects. The legend FORVM TRAIAN appears in the exergue below the architectural scene, separated by a horizontal ground line. |
