| Obverse description | Laureate head of Domitian facing right, rendered in fine high relief with carefully engraved hair and laurel wreath. The portrait conveys the mature imperial effigy characteristic of Domitian's later coinage, with strong facial features and a broad neck truncation. The circumferential legend reads DOMITIANVS AVG GERM, distributed around the field from lower left to upper right. |
