| Obverse lettering | IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COS XI CENS POT P P (Translation: Imperator Caesar Domitianus Augustus Germanicus, Consul Undecimum, Censoria Potestate, Pater Patriae. Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, Domitian, emperor (Augustus), conqueror of the Germans, consul for the eleventh time, holder of censorial power, father of the nation.) |
| Reverse description | The personification of Pax standing left in flowing robes, her right hand extended downward applying a torch to a pile of arms arranged at her feet, her left hand holding a cornucopiae — the symbol of abundance — resting against her body. The composition conveys the Flavian propagandistic theme of peace achieved through military victory, with the destruction of captured weapons underscoring Roman dominance. The large senatorial control marks S and C are prominently placed in the field to either side of the central figure, with a ground line beneath the scene and a dotted border visible along the coin's lower rim. |
