| Obverse description | Draped and cuirassed laureate bust of Emperor Domitian facing right, with an aegis at the neck. The effigy is rendered in the characteristic Alexandrian provincial style, with curly hair beneath the laurel wreath and a pronounced beard line. The encircling Greek legend runs along the outer border of the flan. The portrait conveys imperial authority with a strong profile, typical of the Flavian dynastic coinage produced at Alexandria. |

| Reverse description | Heracles standing facing, nude, holding a club upright in his right hand and a small statuette in his left, surrounded by four smaller figures arranged at his sides and feet in attitudes of veneration or supplication. The composition is characteristic of the Alexandrian mint's syncretic treatment of Graeco-Roman deities, presenting Heracles in a hieratic, frontal stance reminiscent of cult statuary. The date legend appears in the field. The flan is irregular with visible die wear consistent with a heavily circulated provincial issue. |
