| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Domitian facing right, draped on the left shoulder, rendered in high relief with characteristic fleshy facial features. The emperor's effigy displays a radiate crown of laurel leaves atop a broad face with a prominent brow, consistent with Flavian portraiture conventions. A beaded border encircles the design. The bold, confident modeling of the portrait reflects the mature Flavian die-cutting style of the Rome Mint. The obverse legend runs clockwise around the bust. |

| Reverse description | A captive Germanic warrior, nude and bearded, seated in a dejected posture atop a pile of arms, facing left with his torso twisted slightly toward the viewer. His right hand rests near his chin in a gesture of submission or contemplation, while his legs are drawn up, conveying defeat and subjugation. The trophy of arms beneath him is rendered in low relief. This type celebrates Domitian's Danubian and Germanic campaigns. A beaded border frames the composition, with the legend distributed around the upper periphery. |
