| Beschrijving keerzijde | A hexastyle temple depicted in three-quarter perspective, identified as the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus on the Capitoline Hill in Rome, shown with a columned portico, decorated pediment, and a stepped podium. Figures are discernible within the intercolumniation, consistent with the iconographic type associating this issue with Jupiter and Victory. The reverse legend S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI is disposed around the upper field, with the senatorial authority mark S C positioned in the lower exergual area. The overall composition is characteristic of the monumental architectural reverses favoured at the Rome Mint under Trajan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The legend OPTIMO PRINCIPI — "to the best ruler" — was not a standard honorific recycled from earlier reigns. The Senate formally voted Trajan this title in 114 AD, though it appears on coinage somewhat earlier, reflecting a gradual institutional acknowledgment of his Dacian victories and administrative competence. No emperor before him received it; after Trajan, successors used it sparingly and with considerably less conviction from the senatorial body that coined it.
