| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, with drapery over the left shoulder, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of Trajanic imperial portraiture. The emperor's strong, mature facial features are depicted with naturalistic precision, the laurel wreath firmly set upon his head as a symbol of supreme authority. The encircling legend runs along the entire periphery of the flan in incuse Latin characters. The overall composition reflects the confident artistic conventions of the Roman mint under Trajan, combining dignity with martial gravitas. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Arabia stands facing, her head turned to the left, draped in flowing garments and presented in a three-quarter frontal pose. She extends her right hand forward over a camel partially visible at her lower left, offering a branch as an emblem of the newly acquired province. Over her left arm she carries a bundle of cinnamon reeds or aromatic spice stalks, emblematic of Arabia's celebrated trade in exotic goods. The reverse legend, divided between the upper field and exergual area, commemorates the Roman Senate's acclamation of Trajan and the acquisition of the province of Arabia. The composition is typical of Trajan's ambitious provincial commemorative coinage, combining allegorical personification with specific geographic and military references. |
