| Obverse description | Laureate bust of the emperor Trajan facing right, with drapery on the left shoulder, rendered in the vigorous portraiture style characteristic of the Trajanic period. The effigy displays a strong, mature facial profile with prominent features and a laurel wreath encircling the head. The surrounding legend is incuse in Latin capitals, reading continuously around the coin's circumference within a beaded border. The bust truncation is bare at the lower right, with the paludamentum visible across the far shoulder. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Felicitas, draped and standing to the left, occupies the central field. She raises a caduceus upward in her right hand, symbolising prosperity and divine favour, while her left hand holds a cornucopiae, emblematic of abundance. The figure is rendered with fluid drapery in the classicising style of Trajanic coinage. The reverse legend arcs around the upper and lower field, separated by the standing figure, within a beaded border. |
