| Reverse description | Minerva, goddess of wisdom and warfare, depicted standing facing left in a dynamic advancing posture, brandishing a thunderbolt in her raised right hand and holding a large round shield on her left arm. She wears a crested helmet and military attire, her figure rendered in high relief with naturalistic drapery falling to her feet. At her feet to the lower left, an owl — her sacred attribute — is perched upon a helmet or military trophy. The surrounding Latin legend GERMANICVS COS XV runs along the upper and right periphery, referencing Domitian's Germanic victories and his fifteenth consulship. A finely executed bead border frames the entire reverse field. |
