| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Domitian facing right, draped, with the imperial legend encircling the effigy in Latin. The portrait displays the characteristic strong features of Flavian imperial portraiture, rendered in a provincial workshop style consistent with coinage struck at Patras in Achaea. The legend runs clockwise around the bust within the coin's field. |
