| Obverse description | Laureate head of Domitian facing right, with finely rendered hair curls and a prominent laurel wreath. The emperor's draped bust is presented in a confident right-facing profile characteristic of Flavian portraiture. The surrounding field is plain, and the coin is bordered by a beaded inner circle. The legend DOMITIANVS AVGVSTVS runs clockwise around the periphery in crisp, well-spaced Latin capitals. |

| Obverse lettering | DOMITIANVS AVGVSTVS (Translation: Domitianus Augustus. Domitian, emperor (Augustus).) |
| Reverse description | Domitian, depicted as triumphator, is shown seated in a quadriga — a four-horse chariot — galloping to the left. The emperor holds a laurel branch in his right hand and the reins in his left, conveying the imagery of a triumphal procession celebrating his Germanic victories. The horses are rendered in vigorous motion with fine detail. The legend GERMANICVS arcs across the upper field, while COS XVI appears in the exergue, referencing his sixteenth consulship. |
