Reverse description Emperor Trajan standing erect in a triumphal quadriga advancing to the left, holding a sceptre or eagle-tipped staff in his left hand and the reins in his right, depicted in the traditional Roman triumphal pose. The four horses are rendered in dynamic motion, their forelegs raised, conveying the grandeur of the imperial triumph. The scene commemorates Trajan's Dacian victories and is framed by the surrounding Latin legend along the periphery. The senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the exergue, affirming the official sanction of the Roman Senate for this bronze issue.
