| Beschrijving keerzijde | Minerva, goddess of wisdom and war and Domitian's divine patron, depicted standing right atop a rostral column adorned with a ship's prow, holding an upright spear in her right hand and a round shield in her left. A small owl, sacred attribute of Minerva, stands to the right at the base of the column. The composition reflects Domitian's particular veneration of Minerva, a recurring and distinctive type on his aurei and denarii. The reverse legend encircles the design along the beaded border, recording the emperor's imperial acclamations, consulships, and censorship. |

Domitian's censorship titles on this issue reflect his assumption of the post of censor perpetuus in 85 AD — a move that alarmed the Senate precisely because it gave him permanent control over membership of that body. The IMP XIIII acclamation dates this piece to 87, a year in which Domitian was aggressively managing his own titulature as part of a broader autocratic program that Suetonius and Pliny the Younger would later condemn in nearly identical terms.
The CENS P P P formula appears across a relatively tight chronological band in the RIC sequence, making precise die-study dating more reliable here than for many imperial gold issues.
