| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Domitian facing right, wearing an aegis on the shoulder, rendered in the authoritative imperial portrait style typical of the Flavian period. The emperor's effigy displays characteristic late first-century Roman portraiture with strongly modelled facial features. The encircling legend runs along the outer border of the flan. The overall strike is moderately well-centred on a broad, slightly irregular flan consistent with hammered bronze production of the Roman mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Domitian's 86 AD bronze issues fall within his intensive reorganization of the Roman coinage system — he had restored the silver denarius to Neronian fineness the previous year, raising its purity significantly after decades of debasement under his predecessors. The Moneta type was a deliberate statement of that reform program, invoking the goddess of the mint at a moment when the integrity of the currency was under active reconstruction.
The reform proved short-lived. Military expenditure, particularly the Dacian and German campaigns, forced Domitian to reduce the denarius standard again by 85-87 AD.
