| Obverse lettering | IMP NERVA CAES TRAIAN AVG GERM P M (Translation: Imperator Nerva Caesar Traianus Augustus, Germanicus, Pontifex Maximus. Supreme commander (Imperator), Nerva, Caesar, Trajan, emperor (Augustus), conqueror of the Germans, high priest.) |
| Reverse description | Dynastic scene depicting the deified Nerva, togate and standing left, extending a globe in his right hand toward Trajan, who stands right in military dress and holds a spear in his left hand. The composition symbolises the formal transfer of imperial authority and providential legitimacy from Nerva to Trajan. The reverse legend is distributed across the field, with PROVID appearing in the lower portion as a programmatic reference to the theme of providential succession. The figures are rendered in the slightly schematic but dignified style typical of early second-century Roman denarii. |
