| Obverse lettering | IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COS XI CENS POT P P (Translation: Supreme commander, Caesar, Domitian, emperor, conqueror of the Germans, consul for the eleventh time, holder of censorial power, father of the nation.) |
| Reverse description | Domitian standing left in sacrificial pose, extending a patera in his right hand over a lighted altar set before a distyle aedicule or shrine, within which stands a statue of Minerva. The composition is framed by the senatorial authorization legend S C (Senatus Consulto) in large letters divided across the central field, affirming the Senate's role in authorizing bronze coinage. The architectural shrine, rendered with pilasters or columns and a pediment, reflects the Flavian dynastic reverence for Minerva as the emperor's patron deity. |
