| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, draped and cuirassed, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of Trajanic imperial portraiture. The emperor's mature, strong-featured effigy is depicted with close-cropped hair beneath a laurel wreath. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P COS VI P P, distributed around the full circumference of the flan. The portrait conveys imperial authority through its confident modelling and vigorous engraving style typical of the Rome Mint in the early second century AD. |
