Reverse description Standing figure of Minerva, goddess of wisdom and war, depicted in three-quarter view facing left, wearing a crested helmet and long flowing chiton with aegis across her chest. In her raised right hand she holds a thunderbolt, while her left arm supports an upright spear; a large round shield rests at her feet to the left. Minerva was Domitian's patron deity and features prominently across his coinage in a range of types. The reverse legend IMP XIIII COS XIIII CENS P P P arcs around the upper field within a beaded border, and the figure is rendered with fine detail characteristic of Rome Mint craftsmanship under the Flavian dynasty.
