| Obverse description | Laureate head of Domitian facing right, rendered in high relief with characteristic Flavian portraiture. The emperor's effigy displays a wreath of laurel leaves encircling the head, with naturalistic facial features typical of late first-century Roman imperial coinage. A beaded border frames the entire obverse field. The surrounding legend is partially visible around the periphery, interrupted by the coin's irregular flan edge. The surfaces show patination consistent with genuine ancient silver. |

The goddess is depicted with confident, upright bearing in the distinctive Flavian Minerva type frequently employed on Domitianic coinage, reflecting the emperor's particular devotion to the deity.
