| Obverse description | Laureate, draped bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, with aegis on the left shoulder. The imperial effigy is rendered in the characteristic Trajanic portrait style, with the legend disposed around the periphery in Greek characters. The nudity of the bust combined with the aegis alludes to the emperor's divine associations, a convention common in Alexandrian provincial coinage. |
