| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Domitius Domitianus facing right, rendered with a short beard and finely detailed hair beneath the laurel wreath, the ribbons of which fall behind the neck. The portrait displays the sturdy, realistic style characteristic of Tetrarchic imperial coinage. The circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, reading IMP C L DOMITIVS DOMITIANVS AVG, identifying the emperor by his full titulature within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The Genius of the Roman People (Genius Populi Romani) stands facing left, depicted as a youthful, nude male figure wearing a modius (grain measure) on his head and with a chlamys draped over his left shoulder. He extends a patera in his right hand, from which liquid sometimes flows, and holds a cornucopiae in his left hand. At his feet to the left, an eagle stands holding a wreath in its beak. An officina letter appears in the right field, and the mintmark ALE is placed in the exergue. The reverse legend GENIO POPVLI ROMANI encircles the design. |
