Reverse description Standing nude male figure of Genius facing left in the field, holding a patera in the right hand extended forward and a cornucopia in the left hand. The figure is rendered in the classical Roman style with idealized proportions typical of Trajanic official coinage. The reverse legend is distributed around the periphery of the flan, recording Trajan's major titles and honours. The plain exergue below the figure is unadorned. The overall composition reflects the official propaganda celebrating the emperor's divine favour and the prosperity of Rome.
