| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Domitian facing right, wearing an aegis on the shoulder, rendered in the imperial portrait style characteristic of the Flavian period. The effigy displays the emperor's distinctive features with a laurel wreath crowning the head. The circumferential legend in Latin runs around the entire obverse field. The coin shows significant wear and surface patination consistent with circulation use, with the portrait retaining sufficient relief to identify the imperial type. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Fides (Faith/Loyalty) depicted standing to the right, rendered as a draped female figure. She holds a bundle of corn-ears in one hand and a patera or plate of fruit in the other, emblems of agricultural abundance and public trust. The legend FIDEI PVBLICAE arcs around the upper field, invoking public loyalty, while the senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the lower field flanking the figure. The reverse surface exhibits heavy wear and granular corrosion, with the type remaining identifiable through the characteristic stance and attributes of the goddess. |
