| Additional information |
Nerva struck quinarii only briefly, and surviving examples are genuinely rare — the denomination had fallen largely out of practical use by the Flavian period, making its revival under Nerva something of an anomaly. RIC II lists just a handful of quinarius types for his reign, and the OCRE corpus confirms very few specimens recorded in public collections. Whether the issue served a specific ceremonial or donative purpose, or simply reflects a short-lived administrative decision, remains unresolved in the literature.
