    Trajan was the king of obverse legends. I believe no emperor before or after him ever had as much wording on a coin as he did. :)

    This is an excellent coin. Medoraman is right! Trajan has some really long legends and to someone who could not read it looks like a decoration, consuming the whole perimeter of the coin.

    You can't go wrong with Imperator Trajan Optimus Princeps Dacicus Germanicus Parthicus TRP III COS V.
    Joking aside, its a nice coin that I would like to own.
    Congrats!

    Love the image, but you need to clean up the black background. I did the reverse in just a few seconds:
