| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered with fine detail in the Roman imperial portrait tradition, with the laurel wreath depicted naturalistically over closely cropped hair. The truncation of the bust is bare, and the emperor's strong, idealized profile is characteristic of Trajanic coinage. The encircling legend runs clockwise around the obverse field, identifying the emperor with his full array of titles and honorifics. |
