Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aureus - Trajan (REGNA ADSIGNATA) coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. While most Roman coins of that era depicted gods, goddesses, or other mythological figures, the Aureus - Trajan coin features a portrait of the Roman Emperor Trajan, surrounded by the inscription "REGNA ADSIGNATA," which translates to "Kingdoms Assigned." This design was a departure from the traditional Roman coinage design and was meant to highlight Trajan's military conquests and the expansion of the Roman Empire under his rule.
