| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Domitian facing right, draped and wearing an aegis over the left shoulder, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of Flavian imperial portraiture. The emperor's effigy displays strong, idealized facial features with close-cropped hair beneath a laurel wreath. The circular Latin legend runs along the outer border of the coin, framing the portrait. The aegis, adorned with the gorgoneion, is clearly visible on the shoulder, denoting imperial and divine authority. The overall style reflects the confident artistry of the Rome mint under Domitian's reign. |

| Reverse description | Jupiter, depicted in full standing figure, faces left and is shown in a commanding, frontal stance with weight shifted onto one leg. In his raised right hand he holds a thunderbolt, the primary attribute of his divine sovereignty, while his left hand grasps a long vertical sceptre. The god is rendered in the classical style with a semi-draped figure. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the field, flanking the deity, confirming the official sanction of the bronze coinage. The reverse legend IVPPITER CONSERV encircles the design, proclaiming Jupiter as the divine protector of the emperor and empire. |
