| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Domitian facing right, rendered in the provincial Egyptian style, with an aegis visible at the neck. The legend surrounds the portrait in Greek characters, reading clockwise around the field. The effigy displays characteristic Flavian portraiture adapted for the Alexandrian provincial mint, with detailed hair rendered in tight laurel wreath. The aegis, an attribute linking the emperor to divine authority, is clearly positioned at the base of the neck truncation. |

| Reverse description | The emperor, depicted in military attire, rides in a quadriga proceeding to the right, holding the reins and a sceptre or branch. The four horses are shown in vigorous motion, rendered with the bold, somewhat summary style typical of Alexandrian provincial bronzes. The regnal year date L ΙΕ (year 15, corresponding to 95-96 AD) appears prominently in the upper field above the quadriga. The scene evokes the triumphal iconography associated with Domitian's Germanic victories celebrated on this coin series. |
