| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the seated figure of Concordia enthroned to the right on an ornate chair, holding a patera in her extended right hand and a double cornucopia in her left. To the left, a standing figure — likely representing the Senate or a suppliant — approaches in a gesture of obeisance or offering. The scene is rendered in bold, high relief typical of Trajanic orichalcum sestertii. The legend S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI arcs around the upper field, while the senatorial authorization mark S C appears prominently in the lower exergual area, flanking the throne. |
