| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing laureate bust of Emperor Trajan, draped and cuirassed, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of the finest Trajanic coinage. The emperor's strong, mature features are clearly articulated, with the laureate wreath visible atop his head. The paludamentum is fastened at the shoulder and the cuirass is visible at the truncation. The encircling Latin legend runs clockwise from the lower left, framing the imperial effigy against a smooth field. |

Trajan's "Optimus Princeps" title — formally bestowed by the Senate in 114 AD but already appearing on coinage well before that date — reflected a genuine political consensus rare in the Principate. The Senate awarded it unsolicited, a distinction no emperor before or after received in quite the same way. Felicitas on the reverse was not decorative flattery; it signaled prosperity tied directly to Trajan's Dacian campaigns, with war booty financing public works on a scale Rome had not seen since Augustus.
