| Obverse description | Laureate bust of the emperor Domitian facing right, rendered with finely detailed curled hair beneath the laurel wreath, the neck truncation bare. The portrait displays the characteristic Flavian style, with a strong, slightly idealised facial profile. The encircling legend runs continuously around the obverse field, separated from the bust by the coin's irregular flan edge. |

| Reverse description | The goddess Minerva depicted in full figure, advancing to the right in a dynamic martial pose, wearing a crested helmet and long draped garment. She raises a spear in her right hand poised to strike, while her left arm supports a large round shield. The figure is rendered in vigorous high relief, characteristic of Flavian die-cutting, and stands upon a plain ground line with the titular legend distributed around the field. |
