| Obverse description | Radiate and draped bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered in high relief with characteristic strong physiognomy. The emperor wears a radiate crown, the distinguishing mark of the dupondius denomination, along with a paludamentum (military cloak) fastened at the shoulder. The encircling legend, partially legible due to wear, reads IMP CAES NERVAE TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P COS VI P P, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The portrait exemplifies the vigorous, classicizing style of the Rome Mint during the height of Trajan's reign. |

| Reverse description | The goddess Fortuna Redux seated left on a throne, draped, holding a rudder set on a globe in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, symbolising the safe return of fortune and abundance. The legend FORTVNAE REDVCI arcs around the upper field, while the large senatorial mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently placed in the lower exergual area, flanking the throne base. The composition follows standard Trajanic reverse iconography, with the figure rendered in a serene, classicising manner consistent with Rome Mint production of the period 112–114 AD. |
