| Reverse description | A legionary eagle stands facing or slightly to the right at centre, its wings partially spread, flanked on each side by a military vexillum mounted on a pole decorated with pellets and topped with a finial. The composition evokes Rome's martial traditions and the loyalty of the legions to the emperor. The reverse legend S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI, meaning 'The Senate and People of Rome to the Best of Princes,' encircles the design, an honorific formula recalling the Optimus Princeps title of Trajan. A mint mark appears in the exergue, denoting the Roman officina responsible for striking. |
