| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Roma facing right, rendered in the Republican denarius style that Trajan's restoration coinage deliberately evoked. The goddess wears a winged Attic helmet with a prominent crest, and her hair falls in loose locks behind the neck. The value mark X (denarius) appears in the left field, while the moneyer's name DECIMVS is distributed across the field in abbreviated form. The portrait is executed in a crisp, high-relief style consistent with Trajanic workshop standards applied to an archaic Republican prototype. |

| Reverse description | The Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, depicted as twin horsemen galloping in unison to the right, each wearing a laureate pileus and a chlamys billowing behind. The riders hold spears couched forward, conveying martial dynamism. In the lower field, a round shield and a carnyx (Celtic war trumpet) are arranged in saltire, evoking Republican military iconography. The legend encircles the field, with ROMA inscribed prominently in the exergue, identifying this piece as part of Trajan's celebrated restitution series restoring iconic Republican coin types. |
