Lovely denarius, love seeing fine style Minerva-reverse Domitians on large flans. Here’s my Domitian

Domitian, as Caesar (AD 81-96). AR denarius (18mm, 3.45 gm, 5h), Rome, AD 80-81. CAESAR DIVI F DOMITIANVS COS VII, laureate head of Domitian right / PRINCEPS-IVVENTVTIS, Minerva advancing right, round shield on left arm, brandishing spear in right hand and shield in left. RIC II.1 (Titus) 268.

 

Wow I LOVE this coin. it has such a character and glow

 

As common as they are, I can always appreciate a nice Domitian denarius

This is my current one
