Obv.: IMP CAES TRAIANO OPTIMO AVG GER DAC P M TR P COS VI P P , his radiate, draped bust facing right, seen from side.
Rev.: SE[NATV]S POPVLV - SQVE ROMANVS / S - C , Felicitas standing half left, holding caduceus and cornucopia.
RIC II, p. 292, no. 674 var. (obv. legend, otherwise common) ; Coh. 353 var. ; Woytek (MIR) 500v, eight spec. known to him, one illustrated on his pl. 102.
Curtis Clay 30/11/2015: "Trajan's obv. legend with OPTIMO, but without NER, is well attested in all denominations, though scarce, so is certainly not an engraver's error. The portrait on your piece is a little unusual, however."
