| Beschrijving keerzijde | Moneta, the personification of the Roman mint, stands facing left in full figure, rendered in classical drapery. She holds a pair of scales in her extended right hand, symbolizing equity and fair measure of coinage, and a cornucopiae in her left hand, representing abundance. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently placed in the field to either side of the figure, denoting the senate's authorization of this bronze issue. The reverse legend arcs across the upper field in crisp Latin capitals. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Domitian's 84 AD aes coinage was produced during a period of deliberate monetary reform — he had restored the silver content of the denarius to Augustan standards the previous year, a policy that held until 85 AD when military expenditure forced a reversal. The MONETA AVGVST type, invoking the goddess of the mint herself, reads almost as official advertising for that short-lived reform effort.
RIC II.1 #223 is a Rome mint product from the first of Domitian's reorganized tribunician years. The sestertius-weight bronze of this period shows measurable inconsistency in flan preparation across known examples.
