Obverse lettering IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P VII
(Translation: Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, Domitian, emperor (Augustus), conqueror of the Germans, high priest, holder of tribunician power for the seventh time.)
Reverse description Minerva, helmeted and draped, stands left in a martial pose, holding an upright spear in her right hand with the shaft resting against her shoulder, her left arm drawn close to her body. The goddess is depicted in the round, her drapery falling in vertical folds consistent with the Flavian artistic canon. This reverse type — one of four Minerva variants employed on Domitianic denarii — was a favored design reflecting the emperor's personal devotion to the goddess. The encircling legend fills the field around the standing figure, with no exergue line present.
