| Reverse description | The goddess Victoria, winged and draped, stands facing right upon the prow of a warship (rostrum), her right hand extending a wreath and her left hand grasping a long palm branch — the traditional attributes of military triumph. The figure is rendered in the classical style with wings spread behind her, conveying divine momentum and imperial victory. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the field to either side of the central type. The reverse legend arcs around the upper and lower periphery of the coin. |

| Additional information |
Struck in Domitian's name during the joint reign with Titus, this as predates Domitian's own accession in September 81 AD by months at most. The VICTORIA AVGVST reverse almost certainly references Titus's Judean triumph, a propaganda theme the Flavians recycled aggressively across denominations throughout this period — Domitian borrowing reflected glory he had no personal share in earning.
