| Reverse description | Victory, seminude to the hips, standing facing right with her left foot raised and set upon a low step or base, leaning forward to inscribe the word DACICA upon a large oval shield affixed to a slender palm tree. The palm tree, a conventional symbol of military triumph, rises vertically in the field, while Victory's dynamic posture and flowing lower drapery convey the celebratory spirit of Trajan's Dacian conquests. The surrounding legend COS V P P S P Q R OPTIMO PRINC encircles the scene, honouring Trajan as consul for the fifth time, Father of the Fatherland, and Optimus Princeps — the best of princes. |
