| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Domitian facing right, wearing an aegis on the left shoulder, rendered with bold high-relief modelling characteristic of Flavian imperial portraiture. The emperor's hair is depicted in tight curls over the forehead, with the laurel wreath clearly articulated across the crown. The encircling legend is incuse and reads continuously around the periphery of the flan. The portrait conveys imperial authority through its strong facial features and robust neck, consistent with official workshop production of the Roman mint under Domitian. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Fortuna depicted in full length, facing left, draped in a long chiton and himation, holding a ship's rudder set to the ground in her right hand and a cornucopiae cradled in her left arm — her canonical attributes as goddess of fortune and prosperity. The large senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consulto) is prominently placed in the central field to either side of the figure, as required for bronze denominations of the Roman Imperial series. The reverse legend arcs across the upper field. The composition is well-centred and the relief is crisp, consistent with the high-quality dies used at Rome under Domitian's censorship. |
