| Obverse script | Latin |
| Obverse lettering | IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COS XI CENS PER P P (Translation: Imperator Caesar Domitianus Augustus Germanicus, Consul Undecimum, Censor Perpetuus, Pater Patriae. Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, Domitian, emperor (Augustus), conqueror of the Germans, consul for the eleventh time, censor for life, father of the nation.) |
| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Annona, the personification of the imperial grain supply, seated left on a throne or chair, draped, extending her right arm forward toward a young male figure — likely a modius-bearer or attendant — standing to the right. A prow or ship's stern is visible in the background to the left, alluding to the maritime transport of grain to Rome. The letters S C (Senatus Consultum) appear in the lower field, flanking the base of the composition, while the legend ANNONA AVG is disposed around the upper periphery. The overall composition conveys the imperial ideology of providential grain supply to the Roman populace. |
