| Obverse description | Radiate or laureate draped bust of Domitian facing right, depicted as a young prince with curly hair. The effigy shows the subject wearing a paludamentum secured at the shoulder, rendered in the imperial portraiture style of the Flavian period. The encircling legend reads CAESAR AVG F DOMITIAN COS VI, distributed around the bust in Latin capital letters within a beaded border. The portrait is boldly struck, conveying the authority and dynastic prestige of Domitian as heir apparent under Vespasian. |
