| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Domitian facing right, with draped left shoulder visible, rendered in high relief in the Roman imperial portrait tradition. The emperor's effigy displays characteristic Flavian portraiture with a strong jawline and short curled hair beneath the laurel wreath. The encircling legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan. The portrait is boldly struck and slightly off-center, consistent with hand-hammered coinage of the period. |

| Obverse lettering | IMP CAES DOMITIANVS AVG P M (Translation: Imperator Caesar Domitianus Augustus, Pontifex Maximus. Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, Domitian, emperor (Augustus), high priest.) |
| Reverse description | Minerva, helmeted and clad in flowing robes, stands facing left in a commanding pose, extending a small Victory figure in her right hand and holding an upright spear in her left. A large round shield rests against her feet at lower right. The goddess is depicted with characteristic Flavian-era sculptural precision, her form rendered in fine relief against a smooth field. The reverse legend is distributed around the periphery, reading clockwise from the left, framed within a beaded border. |
