Obverse description Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, with drapery over the left shoulder, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and laurel wreath. The portrait displays the characteristic strong, authoritative profile of Trajan, with a firm jaw and naturalistic physiognomy consistent with Trajanic imperial coinage. The obverse legend encircles the bust, naming the emperor with his full titulature. The field is smooth and slightly convex, typical of sestertius flans of the early second century AD.
