Obverse description Laureate bust of Emperor Domitian facing right, wearing an aegis, rendered in high relief with strong portraiture typical of Flavian imperial coinage. The emperor's features are boldly modelled, with the laurel wreath clearly visible encircling the head. The encircling legend runs along the outer rim of the obverse field. The portrait conveys imperial authority in the confident Flavian artistic style.

(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 Jupiter standing left, his weight shifted onto his right leg, holding a thunderbolt in his extended right hand and a long sceptre in his left. The deity is depicted in the classical Roman divine tradition, draped across the lower body. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanks the figure in the field, and the reverse legend IOVI CONSERVAT arcs above, identifying Jupiter in his role as divine protector of the emperor.
