Obverse lettering IMP CAES DOMITIANVS AVG GERMANIC
(Translation: Imperator Caesar Domitianus Augustus Germanicus. Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, Domitian, emperor (Augustus), conqueror of the Germans.)
Reverse description Helmeted and draped bust of Minerva facing right, the goddess depicted wearing a crested Corinthian helmet with a tall plume, her drapery rendered in careful detail at the truncation. Minerva, the divine patron of Domitian, appears as a bust type rather than a full standing figure, a variant employed on several aurei of this reign. The bold relief of the goddess's portrait is framed by the imperial titulature legend inscribed in Latin capitals within a beaded border. The composition reflects Domitian's well-documented personal veneration of Minerva, who featured prominently throughout his coinage.
