| Beschrijving voorzijde | A rhinoceros rendered in bold relief, advancing to the left across a ground line, its massive body filling the flan. The animal is depicted with characteristic horned snout, thick-set legs, and heavy, folded skin, conveying a naturalistic power notable for the period. The design is set within a beaded border. No legend appears on this side, the rhinoceros motif alone serving as the type, likely commemorating exotic animals exhibited at the Flavian games. |

Domitian's quadrans issues of the early 80s AD are among the few Roman imperial bronzes deliberately struck without the emperor's name on the obverse — an unusual suppression of ego for a ruler historically associated with demanding divine honors. The anonymity was likely intentional, keeping the fractional coinage politically neutral for everyday transactions at a time when Domitian was tightening his grip on public imagery across other denominations.
RIC II.1 250 is specifically catalogued under the revised second edition, which substantially reorganized Flavian quadrantes that earlier scholarship had inadequately distinguished by die pairing.
