| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered in high relief with fine detail characteristic of early Trajanic gold coinage. The emperor's portrait displays strong, idealized features with a laurel wreath encircling the head, its ties visible at the nape. The neck is bare and powerfully modeled, conveying imperial authority. A beaded border frames the design, with the Latin legend distributed around the periphery of the field. |

| Additional information |
Struck in 100 AD, Trajan's third consulship year, this aureus falls within the earliest phase of his reign — a period when the mint was actively consolidating imagery around his new regime following Nerva's death in 98. The RIC II 39 attribution places it among a tightly defined emission group, and examples are occasionally found with die-link connections to contemporaneous denarii from the same obverse dies, suggesting shared workshop production across denominations.
