| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Domitian facing right, with aegis or drapery visible on the left shoulder, rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style. The effigy is set within a dotted border, with the Greek imperial titulature arranged as a circular legend around the field. The portrait displays the characteristic broad facial features and short hair associated with Domitianic coinage from the Egyptian mint. |

The rendering reflects the Alexandrian tradition of blending Hellenistic and Egyptian iconographic conventions. The regnal year numeral appears in the right field, with the date marker L to the left of the numeral Ι. |
