| Reverse description | Standing figure of Fortuna facing left in the central field, depicted in full-length robes, holding a rudder in her right hand resting on a globe at her feet and a cornucopia in her left arm — attributes emblematic of fate, abundance, and imperial prosperity. The senatorial mark of authority S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the field to either side of the figure. The surrounding inscription S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI runs along the upper periphery, affirming the senate's and people's dedication to Trajan as the 'best of princes'. The reverse composition is characteristic of Trajanic bronze coinage, emphasising the emperor's benevolent and providential rule. |
