Domitian Gold Aureus Choice VF 5x2

This attractive gold aureus was struck under Emperor Domitian, the last ruler of the Flavian dynasty. Domitian sought to strengthen Rome through both military campaigns and extensive building projects, leaving a lasting mark on the capital.

The obverse features a lifelike portrait of Domitian, highlighting his authority and the imperial style of the late 1st century AD. On the reverse, Minerva—the goddess of wisdom and war—appears with a scepter in hand, reinforcing Domitian’s devotion to Rome’s protective deities.

NGC graded this coin as Choice Very Fine, with superb strike detail at 5/5. This coin remains exceptionally sharp for its age. Its surfaces are rated 2/5, consistent with a gold coin circulated nearly two millennia ago.

Gold aurei of Domitian offer collectors both rarity and historic resonance, capturing the grandeur of Rome during a pivotal era of consolidation and imperial power.
