| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, with paludamentum (military cloak) over the shoulder, rendered in high relief in the characteristic robust portrait style of the Trajanic period. The imperial effigy dominates the field, with the laurel wreath clearly delineated around the head. The surrounding legend is disposed in a circular arrangement along the coin's periphery. The portrait exhibits the strong, idealized facial features characteristic of official Trajanic coinage struck at Rome. The coin shows heavy wear and an attractive brown-green patina consistent with long circulation. |
