Commentary
Poids léger. Imitation de bon style. Le prototype serait le quadrans de Trajan au buste d’Hercule frappé vers 101 de notre ère. Si le portrait fait penser à Trajan, le revers rappelle certains bronzes gaulois ou gallo-romains de la fin du Ier siècle avant J.-C..
Lightweight. Imitation of good style. The prototype would be the quadrans of Trajan with the bust of Hercules struck around 101 AD. If the portrait is reminiscent of Trajan, the reverse recalls certain Gallic or Gallo-Roman bronzes from the end of the 1st century BC.

Historical background
TRAJANUS
(27/10/97-8/08/117)

After a brilliant military career under the Flavians, he was consul in 91 and legate of Germania Superior when he was adopted by Nerva in 97 to succeed him. After the death of the latter, he becomes august. His reign will be devoted to numerous military campaigns against the Germans on the Rhine limes, which earned him the title of Germanicus. Then, he led two Dacian wars against Decebalus which ended with the annexation of Dacia. Trajan prepares a campaign against the Parthians, the turbulent and powerful neighbors to the east. He left Rome for the East and established his headquarters in Antioch before invading the Parthian kingdom. He will go as far as Ctesiphon (Seleucia on the Tigris). When he died on August 8, 117, the Empire was at its peak and experienced its greatest territorial expansion..
