| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Domitian facing right, rendered in the provincial style of the Alexandrian mint. The laureate wreath is clearly visible atop the imperial effigy, with facial features characteristic of Flavian portraiture. The surrounding Greek legend reads ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙΣΑΡ ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑΝΟΣ ΣΕΒ ΓΕΡΜ, identifying the emperor as Autocrator Caesar Domitianus Augustus Germanicus, with the regnal year indicator L Ζ (Year 7) also present in the field. |

| Reverse description | A hawk standing to the right, depicted in a heraldic pose with wings folded against the body and adorned with a double crown headdress, identifying it as a representation of the god Horus in his falcon aspect, a characteristic motif of Alexandrian coinage blending Roman imperial and Egyptian religious iconography. The flan is irregular, and the reverse field is otherwise plain without legend. |
