| Reverse description | Victory seated left on a throne or chair, holding a wreath in her extended right hand and a palm branch over her left shoulder. The figure is rendered in the classical Roman style, draped in a flowing garment. The legend surrounds the figure in the field, with a beaded border at the coin's periphery. The composition is typical of Domitianic quinarii, which regularly feature a seated Victory as the reverse type. |

| Additional information |
Domitian's quinarii are scarce as a class — he issued them in only a handful of years, and the denomination had already become largely ceremonial by the Flavian period, circulating more as donative pieces than everyday coinage. The tribunician and imperatorial notations in this particular titulature place it firmly in 84 AD, a year in which Domitian celebrated a triumph over the Chatti following his Rhine campaigns, which almost certainly prompted the issue.
