I dont have any trajans yet but when I do get one I hope it looks something like this. I like the SC in wreath reverse and the dark patina on this one. I just put it on my wishlist.

The coins of Trajan sure can have some very long legends. I have a dupondius with 45 letters in the obverse legend. I've seen some with as many as 52.

The OP coin is a nice example of the orichalcum as. It also comes in a semis half that size. Both have radiate crowns. The as is half the size of the ordinary copper version. You don't see these everyday.
