| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered with high relief and confident portraiture characteristic of the Trajanic workshops.

| Reverse description | Fortuna seated left on a throne, depicted as a draped female figure holding a rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left — emblems of guidance and abundance respectively. The figure is rendered with careful attention to drapery and anatomical detail, seated upon an ornate chair with decorative legs. The abbreviated legend FORT RED appears in the exergue, while the dedicatory inscription S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI arcs around the upper field. A dotted border frames the entire composition. |
