| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered in high relief with fine classical portraiture typical of the Trajanic period. The emperor's strong, idealized profile is framed by a radiate laurel wreath, with clearly defined facial features including a prominent brow, aquiline nose, and firm jaw. The encircling legend runs along the periphery of the flan in Latin capitals. The style reflects the skilled die-cutting of the eastern mint tradition associated with cistophoric coinage. |
