My First Provincial Coin

I have been looking for an interesting coin of Trajan and this one popped up on FAC. It was interesting so I bought it.

Here are the notes on the coin:

RPC online III 2987 notes, "[Sydenham] 165 describes the obv. as laureate and draped, quoting Ratto, 8 Feb. 1928, lot 2657, but the coin is not illustrated and no specimen has surfaced since. Another 'ghost' ?" Our coin is clearly draped on the far shoulder and clearly not a ghost. RPC online lists 15 specimens none with drapery. We are not sure if the Ratto coin is this type or has drapery on both shoulders.


Here is the attribution:
Silver didrachm, Ratto (1928) 2657; Sydenham 165 (refs. Ratto); Metcalf Conspectus 54b (same); RPC online 2987 (same); BMC Galatia p. 52, 49 var.
