| Reverse description | Three military standards displayed in the field: a legionary aquila (eagle standard) at centre flanked on the left by a vexillum (cavalry standard) and on the right by a signum (infantry standard), all set upon shafts with decorative discs. The aquila perches atop the central staff with wings spread, while the vexillum to the left bears a pennant. The composition is symmetrical and austere, emphasising the martial iconography associated with Trajan's military campaigns. The encircling legend runs along the border, divided by the standards, within a beaded rim. |
