Reverse description Standing draped figure of Spes (Hope) facing left in the central field, rendered in the Roman allegorical tradition. She raises her right hand, lifting the hem of her garment, while her left hand holds a flower or floral offering at her side. The encircling peripheral legend PRINCEPS IVVENTVT — Prince of the Youth — proclaims Domitian's honorific title as heir designate, a propagandistic legend common on Flavian dynastic coinage. The figure is portrayed with elongated proportions typical of late Vespasianic die-cutting style.
