| Beschrijving keerzijde | Minerva, goddess of wisdom and war, depicted standing left in the field, clad in long flowing robes with aegis visible on her chest, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet. She extends her right arm forward holding a thunderbolt, while her left arm rests on a large round shield set on the ground beside her; a coiled serpent rises behind the shield to the left. The surrounding legend IMP XXII COS XVI CENS P P P is distributed around the periphery in Roman capitals. This specific Minerva type — commonly referred to as the 'Minerva with thunderbolt' reverse — was Domitian's favoured reverse type and was struck repeatedly throughout his reign at the Rome mint. |

By the time this denarius was struck, Domitian had held the censorship permanently — censor perpetuus — since 85 AD, an accumulation of constitutional power with no republican precedent. The IMP XXII acclamation dates the issue precisely to 93–94, a period when Domitian's reign had turned nakedly autocratic following the execution of several senators and the banishment of philosophers from Rome. Suetonius and Pliny both describe these final years as a reign of terror, though the coinage itself remained technically consistent.
The Minerva reverse type dominates Domitian's denarii across multiple die varieties catalogued under RIC II.1; this specific obverse legend combination narrows the issue tightly within his 81–96 reign.
