| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and laurel wreath. The emperor is depicted with his characteristic strong jaw and prominent brow, the paludamentum (military cloak) visible at the truncation of the shoulder. The encircling legend reads IMP CAES NER TRAIANO OPTIMO AVG GER DAC in Latin capitals, distributed around the periphery of the field. The portrait exhibits the confident, idealized realism characteristic of Trajanic imperial coinage produced at the Rome Mint in the late Optimus Princeps period. |

| Reverse description | Felicitas, personification of happiness and prosperity, stands facing left in full figure, draped in a long stola and himation. She holds a caduceus (herald's staff) in her right hand and a cornucopia (horn of plenty) in her left, both emblems of peace, prosperity, and divine favor. The figure is rendered in the classical style typical of Trajanic reverse types, with graceful drapery folds falling to the ground. The surrounding legend P M TR P COS VI P P S P Q R is distributed in the field around the figure, referencing Trajan's pontifical, tribunician, consular, and civic titles. |
