| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Domitian facing right, depicted with draped shoulders in the Roman imperial manner. The legend surrounding the effigy reads in Greek characters, identifying the emperor by his full titulature as Caesar Domitian Augustus Germanicus. The regnal year marker 'L Ε' (Year 5) appears in the field, consistent with the Alexandrian dating convention of the Egyptian era. |

| Reverse description | A hawk stands facing right, rendered in the typical Alexandrian style with a distinctive headdress, likely the double crown (pschent) or similar Egyptian royal headgear, identifying the bird with the god Horus. The figure is presented in profile with wings folded along the body, occupying the central field of the coin in the tradition of Ptolemaic-influenced Roman provincial coinage from Alexandria. |
