|---|---|
| Obverse script | Latin |
| Obverse lettering | IMP CAES NER TRAIAN OPTIM AVG GER DAC PARTHICO (Translation: Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Optimus Augustus Germanicus, Dacicus, Parthico,. Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, Nerva Trajan, the best emperor (Augustus), conqueror of the Germans, conqueror of the Dacians, conqueror of the Parthians.) |
| Reverse description | Radiate bust of Sol, the sun god, facing right, depicted with a crown of seven solar rays and draped. The field to the right shows horizontal lines suggestive of solar rays emanating from the deity. The circular legend is distributed around the periphery of the flan, naming Trajan's principal titles. The reverse type associates imperial power with divine solar imagery, consistent with late Trajanic numismatic propaganda celebrating his Parthian victories. |
