| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, depicted with characteristic short-cropped hair beneath a laurel wreath, the paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder and adorned with a decorative boss or phalerae. The portrait exhibits the confident, idealized realism characteristic of Trajanic imperial coinage, with finely engraved facial features including a strong jaw and prominent brow. The encircling legend runs from the lower left in Latin capitals, identifying the emperor with his full titulature across the coin's broad, slightly irregular flan. |
