| Reverse description | The personification of Felicitas, goddess of happiness and prosperity, depicted draped and standing to the left. In her right hand she holds a caduceus, the herald's staff entwined with serpents symbolic of peace and commerce, while her left arm cradles a cornucopiae overflowing with abundance. The figure is rendered in the classical Roman style with flowing garments that fall in naturalistic folds. The reverse legend encircles the field, identifying the coin's issue context with reference to Trajan's fifth consulship and his title Optimus Princeps. |
