| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hercules depicted nude, standing facing on a low rectangular base, his head turned to the right. He holds a club in his raised right hand and drapes the Nemean lion-skin over his extended left arm, iconographic attributes immediately identifying him as the deified hero. The composition is rendered in a static, frontal pose typical of Roman divine personifications on aes coinage of the Trajanic period. The senatorial authority mark S C appears in the field flanking the figure, one letter on each side. |

The semis was already a dying denomination by Trajan's reign — bronze fractions had been in steep decline since the Flavians, and most issues after 98 AD saw limited production runs. Those struck in the 114–117 window fall within Trajan's final years, when military campaigns in Mesopotamia and the annexation of Armenia stretched imperial logistics and mint output alike. That the semis persisted at all into this period is itself notable.
RIC II 690 is among the scarcer of Trajan's bronze fractions in circulated grades, largely because small bronze saw the hardest use.
