| Beschrijving keerzijde | The deified father of Trajan, Marcus Ulpius Traianus (Divus Pater Traianus), depicted bare-headed and togate, seated left upon a curule chair with a low footstool beneath his feet. In his extended right hand he holds a patera as if performing a libation, while his left hand grasps an upright sceptre. The scene is austere and dignified, reflecting the consecratio iconography associated with imperial apotheosis. The reverse legend arcs above the figure in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Trajan's deification of his biological father, Marcus Ulpius Traianus, was a calculated act of dynastic piety — the elder Traianus had served as a suffect consul and governed Syria, but it was his son's conquests that gave the family its imperial weight. This coin was struck while Trajan himself was still very much alive, making it an unusual instance of a living emperor honoring a divine parent rather than a predecessor.
RIC II 251 is among the rarer Trajanic issues, produced in the narrow window before the Parthian campaigns consumed the mint's attention entirely.
