| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, draped and cuirassed, with the portrait rendered in the confident, naturalistic style characteristic of Trajanic imperial coinage. The emperor's strongly modeled features display a mature, authoritative profile. The encircling legend runs from the lower left around the upper field to the lower right, naming Trajan with his full titulature. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, as is typical of hammered sestertii of this period. |

| 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. |
