| Obverse description | Laureate and corn-wreathed bust of Domitian facing right, with an aegis at the neck, rendered in the Alexandrian provincial style. The emperor's portrait is boldly modelled with strong facial features characteristic of Flavian-era coinage from Egypt. A beaded border frames the design. The Greek imperial legend encircles the bust in the field. |

| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Athena standing left, helmeted and clad in chiton and peplos, extending her right hand to offer ears of corn and resting her left hand on a large round shield set upright on the ground beside her. The composition reflects the Alexandrian syncretism of Athena with local agrarian symbolism. A beaded border encircles the design. The Greek legend and regnal year appear in the field. |
