| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, draped and cuirassed, depicted with characteristic portrait features including a strong jawline and layered hair beneath the laurel wreath. The imperial legend encircles the bust in a continuous Latin inscription around the full periphery of the flan. The portrait is executed in the high-relief, naturalistic style characteristic of Trajanic coinage from the Rome Mint. The flan is slightly irregular in shape, consistent with hand-struck silver coinage of the early second century AD. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Jupiter facing left, nude but for a cloak draped over his left shoulder and arm, holding a thunderbolt in his right hand and a long vertical sceptre in his left. A small figure, identified as Trajan, stands at Jupiter's left side, receiving divine protection or patronage from the god. The composition conveys the theme of celestial guardianship over the emperor, reinforcing Trajan's pietas and legitimacy. The reverse legend CONSERVATORI PATRIS PATRIAE encircles the design, referencing Jupiter as protector of the father of the fatherland. The style and execution are consistent with the finest die-cutting of the Rome Mint under Trajan. |
