Obverse description Laureate bust of Domitian facing right, draped at the shoulder, portrayed with characteristic Flavian physiognomy. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the laurel wreath and facial features. The encircling Latin legend occupies the full periphery of the flan, naming the emperor with his full imperial titulature. The portrait exemplifies the official court style of the Roman Imperial mint under the Flavian dynasty.

Reverse description The goddess Victory personified as a winged female figure, advancing briskly to the right with both wings spread and depicted in dynamic striding pose. She extends her right arm forward holding a branch, while her drapery billows behind her in a manner conventional to Roman Victory iconography. The surrounding field is plain, and the imperial acclamation legend is distributed in full around the periphery of the coin.
