| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Minerva, goddess of wisdom and war, depicted in dynamic advancing pose facing right, helmeted and clad in aegis, brandishing a javelin or thunderbolt in her raised right hand and holding a round shield in her left. The type belongs to the well-documented series of Minerva reverses that Domitian employed consistently throughout his reign, reflecting his personal devotion to the goddess. The surrounding legend is distributed around the periphery of the flan. The field is relatively plain, with the figure occupying the central zone of the reverse. |

This denarius was struck in the final months of Domitian's reign, during a period of acute senatorial terror. IMP XXII and COS XVII place it precisely in 96 AD — the same year Domitian was assassinated on September 18th by a palace conspiracy involving members of his own household staff. The Senate's response was immediate and systematic: damnatio memoriae, with his name chiseled from public inscriptions across the empire.
Coins from this final imperial acclamation are consequently scarcer than earlier issues in the series. The erasure campaign did not extend efficiently to circulating coinage, but hoarding at the moment of political crisis likely suppressed survival rates from this narrow window.
