| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Domitian facing right, depicted with aegis or light drapery visible at the shoulder truncation. The portrait is rendered in the Flavian tradition, with characteristic facial features and a laureate wreath crowning the head. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP CAES DOMITIANVS AVG P M, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The coin is struck on an irregular hammered flan with some areas of weakness at the edges. |

| Reverse description | A caduceus depicted upright in the center of the field, the winged staff entwined with two serpents whose heads face each other above the wings, a standard reverse type for the Domitianic quinarius. The caduceus, symbol of Mercury and commercial harmony, is rendered with fine detail despite the small module of the flan. The surrounding Latin legend TR POT COS VIIII P P is distributed around the periphery, with the inscription partially obscured by a chip to the flan at the lower right. No exergue line or exergual inscription is present. |
