| Obverse description | Radiate bust of Emperor Domitian facing right, draped with aegis across the left shoulder, rendered in high relief with characteristic portraiture of the Flavian dynasty. The emperor's facial features are boldly struck, with the radiate crown — denoting the dupondius denomination — clearly visible above the brow. The encircling legend is distributed around the field in incuse Latin capitals. |

| Reverse description | Fides, the personification of public faith and loyalty, standing left in long robes, holding a patera or plate of fruits in her extended right hand and a bundle of corn-ears in her left hand. The composition is typical of Flavian allegorical reverse types, presenting the figure in a calm, frontal stance within a plain field. The legend FIDEI PVBLICAE appears in the upper field, with the senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanking the figure in the lower field, confirming this coin's issuance under the authority of the Roman Senate. |
