| Obverse lettering | IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COS XIIII CENS PER P P (Translation: Imperator Caesar Domitianus Augustus Germanicus, Consul Quartum Decimum, Censor Perpetuus, Pater Patriae. Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, Domitian, emperor (Augustus), conqueror of the Germans, consul for the 14th time, censor for life, father of the nation.) |
| Reverse description | Standing figure of Domitian facing left, holding a thunderbolt in his extended right hand and a vertical spear or sceptre in his left, being crowned by the winged figure of Victory who stands or advances behind him to the left, reaching forward to place a wreath upon his head. The composition emphasises Domitian's divine mandate and military supremacy, with the large senatorial mark of value S C occupying the exergual field in prominent letters. The reverse type draws on established Flavian imperial iconography associating the emperor with Jupiter's thunderbolt. |
