| Beschrijving keerzijde | Minerva, goddess of wisdom and war, depicted standing in full figure facing left, clad in a long chiton and aegis, holding an upright spear in her right hand and resting her left hand at her side. The goddess is rendered in a statuesque, classical style consistent with Domitian's well-documented devotion to Minerva as his divine patron. A beaded border frames the reverse field. The titulary legend runs in Latin capitals around the periphery, recording the emperor's tribunician, consular, and military honours. |

Domitian's fourth tribunician power dates this aureus to 85 AD, a year in which he was consolidating the Danubian frontier following the first Dacian incursion under Duras — campaigns that would eventually draw Roman forces into a decade of attritional border warfare. The imperial salutation count of VIII reflects acclamations tied directly to these northern military operations, making the coin a precise chronological marker for that phase of the conflict.
RIC II.1 267 is relatively well-attested, but aurei from Domitian's reign remain underrepresented in major collections compared to his silver output from the same period.
