| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Domitian facing right, rendered in high relief with bold, naturalistic portraiture characteristic of Flavian imperial coinage. The emperor's features are strongly modeled, with the laurel wreath clearly delineated around the cranium. The encircling legend runs clockwise around the portrait field, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, consistent with Eastern provincial cistophoric fabric. |

| Reverse description | A legionary aquila (eagle standard) displayed upright at center, flanked on either side by military signa. The left standard is surmounted by a hand (manus), while the right is decorated with a vexillum (military banner). The composition is rendered in a formal, symmetrical arrangement typical of Flavian military reverses, emphasizing dynastic and legionary authority. The reverse field is plain, with no exergual inscription. |
