| Obverse description | Right-facing laureate bust of Emperor Trajan, draped and cuirassed, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair curling beneath the laurel wreath and a muscled cuirass visible at the shoulder. The effigy displays strong, idealized portraiture characteristic of Trajanic official coinage, with the aegis or paludamentum draped over the left shoulder. The encircling Latin legend runs from lower left to upper right around the entire periphery of the flan. The field is smooth and the portrait fills the die with commanding presence. |

| Reverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Sol, the sun god, distinguished by a radiate crown with pronounced pointed rays emanating from the head, and two long locks of hair falling down the neck — a hallmark iconographic detail of this reverse type. The bust is rendered with careful attention to drapery folds at the shoulder. The surrounding Latin legend, divided by the bust, records Trajan's full titulature including his Parthian victory, pontifical, tribunician, consular, and paternal honors, as well as the dedication by the Senate and Roman People. |
