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.

(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.
