One interesting fact about the Denarius - Nerva (IMP II COS IIII P P) (98) coin is that it features a unique reverse design that depicts the Roman goddess of wisdom, Minerva, standing left and holding a spear and a shield. This design was introduced during the reign of Emperor Nerva (96-98 AD) and was meant to promote the idea of wisdom and strength, which were key values of the Roman Empire at the time.
