| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-shouldered, laureate bust of Domitian facing right, rendered in the naturalistic Flavian style with finely detailed wreath leaves. The legend encircles the bust around the coin's periphery, reading from lower left upward and across the field. The portrait presents the young Caesar with characteristic Flavian physiognomy, with the bust truncated at the shoulder. The die work is bold, with the laureate wreath rendered in high relief against the slightly irregular flan typical of hand-struck aurei of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck under Domitian as Caesar, not yet emperor, during his father Vespasian's reign. The COS IIII designation dates this precisely to Domitian's fourth consulship, held in 76 AD — one of several ordinary consulships he accumulated before seizing the title Augustus in 81. Vespasian used his younger son's repeated consulships partly as political signaling, positioning Domitian within the Flavian succession without formally designating him heir over the elder Titus.
RIC II.1 #919 is among the scarcer Domitianic aurei of the Vespasianic period, with relatively few specimens recorded in OCRE.
