| Obverse description | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Domitian facing right, rendered with youthful features in high relief characteristic of early Flavian portraiture. The laureate wreath is finely detailed, with ribbons trailing behind the neck. The bust is draped at the shoulder. The encircling legend in Latin reads CAES AVG F DOMIT COS II, distributed around the periphery of the field. |

| Obverse lettering | CAES AVG F DOMIT COS II (Translation: Caesar Augusti Filius, Domitianus Consul Secundus. Caesar, son of the emperor (Augustus), Domitian, consul for the second time.) |
| Reverse description | Domitian portrayed as an equestrian commander on a prancing horse moving to the left, the horse depicted with raised forelegs in a dynamic pose. The rider, shown in military attire, holds a long sceptre or spear diagonally in his left hand and extends his right arm outward in a gesture of salutation or address. The composition fills the flan with no legend or exergual inscription, presenting a bold and assertive imperial image consistent with Flavian dynastic propaganda. |
