Obverse description Laureate head of Domitian facing left, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of the Antiochene mint. The emperor's effigy displays a laurel wreath crowning the head, with visible neck truncation. The encircling Latin legend reads DOMITIANVS CAESAR, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The die work reflects the somewhat coarser engraving typical of eastern provincial bronze issues of the Flavian period.

Reverse description A large, boldly rendered laurel wreath occupies the central field, its leaves depicted in high relief with a dotted border visible along the inner rim. Within the wreath, the senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consulto) is prominently displayed in large letters separated by a central pellet. The wreath is tied at the base and encloses the legend in the manner standard to Antiochene civic bronze coinage of the Flavian era. No additional exergual marks or mintmarks are present.
