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 The goddess Minerva depicted standing left in full figure, helmeted and clad in flowing drapery, extending her right arm forward to brandish a thunderbolt, while her left hand rests on an upright spear. A round shield is placed at her side near her feet, resting against her leg. The composition presents Minerva as a martial deity, reflecting Domitian's particular veneration of the goddess as his divine patron. The figure is rendered with confident, schematic lines typical of late first-century Roman die-cutting, with the encircling legend occupying the peripheral field.
