| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Domitian facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Judaean civic coinage. The portrait displays the characteristic features of Domitian's effigy as adopted by eastern mints, with a laurel wreath crowning the head. The surrounding Greek legend ΑΥΤΟ ΚΑΙ ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑΝΟϹ ΓΕΡΜΑ ϹΕΒΑϹ ('Imperator Caesar Domitianus Germanicus Augustus') runs in the field around the portrait. The overall style reflects the local engraving tradition of the mint of Gaba under the Flavian dynasty. |

| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Tyche standing left, draped, holding a long sceptre in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left arm, emblematic of the city's prosperity and fortune. The figure is rendered in the conventional provincial style of civic personifications common to Syrian and Judaean bronze coinage of the Flavian period. A Greek civic legend encircles the type, identifying the issuing community. The date ΡΜΒ (year 142 of the local Gabinian era, corresponding to 83-84 CE) appears to the right in the field. |
