| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, depicted with characteristic curly hair beneath the laurel wreath and a strongly modelled profile typical of Trajanic portraiture. The bust is draped and cuirassed, rendered in high relief against a flat field. The encircling legend runs from lower left to right, recording the emperor's full titulature in abbreviated Latin. The portrait style reflects the vigorous, realistic aesthetic of early second-century Roman imperial coinage produced at the Rome Mint. |
