| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Domitian facing right, rendered in the Roman provincial style with bold relief. The imperial effigy displays a laurel wreath of multiple leaves tied at the nape, with visible drapery over the left shoulder. The surrounding legend in Latin runs clockwise along the periphery of the flan. The flan is irregular and shows typical characteristics of provincial hammered coinage, with some weakness at the edges. |

| Reverse description | A legionary aquila (eagle standard) with spread wings stands prominently at center between two military signa (standards), each surmounted by decorative elements including discs and transverse bars. The standards are shown with phalera discs and are firmly planted. The reverse legend in Latin is distributed around the field, recording the colonial designation of Patras and the numerals of the two legions. The design is characteristic of the military colonist coinage of Colonia Augusta Aroe Patrensis, celebrating the legionary origins of the settlement. |
