| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Domitian facing right, rendered in the standard Roman imperial portrait style. The emperor's features are depicted with characteristic late Flavian treatment, with the laurel wreath clearly visible encircling the head. The surrounding legend runs clockwise in Greek characters along the coin's border. The portrait occupies the majority of the flan, typical of provincial bronze coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | A captive barbarian figure kneels to the left in a posture of submission, with both hands bound or held behind the back, referencing Domitian's Danubian campaigns against the Getae. The word ΓΕΤΙΚΗ appears in the field, identifying the victory commemorated. The surrounding Greek legend is distributed around the periphery of the flan. The composition is a characteristic Roman provincial victory type, celebrating imperial triumph over a named barbarian people. The scene is rendered in the bold, somewhat summary style typical of Bithynian civic bronze coinage. |
