Obverse lettering IMP CAES DIVI VESP F DOMITIAN AVG P M
(Translation: Imperator Caesar, Divi Vespasiani Filius, Domitianus, Augustus, Pontifex Maximus. Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, son of the divine Vespasianus, Domitian, emperor (Augustus), high priest.)
Reverse description Minerva, helmeted and draped, advancing to the right in a dynamic martial pose, brandishing a spear aloft in her raised right hand while holding a round shield on her left arm. The aegis hangs down her back, a hallmark iconographic detail of this Domitianic reverse type. The composition conveys the aggressive military character favoured by Domitian's personal association with Minerva as his divine patron. The reverse legend is distributed around the periphery, with S C prominently flanking the figure in the field, denoting senatorial authority over bronze coinage.
