| Obverse description | Draped bust of Apollo facing left, his hair bound with a laurel wreath, with a branch positioned before the face in the field. The legend encircles the bust along the periphery of the flan. The portrait is rendered in the restrained classical style typical of Domitianic bronze coinage, with the deity's divine attributes clearly distinguished from imperial portraiture. |

| Obverse lettering | IMP DOMIT AVG GERM COS XV (Translation: Imperator, Domitianus, Augustus, Germanicus, Consul Quintum Decimum. Supreme commander (Imperator) Domitian, emperor (Augustus), conqueror of the Germans, consul for the 15th time.) |
| Reverse description | A raven, Apollo's sacred bird, perched to the right upon a laurel branch, its plumage rendered with fine engraved detail. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the lower field beneath the branch, affirming senatorial oversight of the bronze coinage. The composition is centrally placed on the flan with the branch extending diagonally across the field, a characteristic design feature of Domitianic quadrantes. |
