| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder, rendered in the naturalistic portrait style characteristic of Trajanic imperial coinage. The laureate wreath is rendered with fine detail, the individual leaves clearly articulated around the emperor's head. The portrait conveys a strong, authoritative profile with well-defined facial features typical of the idealized yet individualized imperial effigy. The encircling legend runs from lower left to upper right around the bust within the coin's border. |
