Exegesis
The genitive tou kensou {τοῦ κήνσου | toû kḗn-sou} functions attributively, specifying that this is the coin associated with the tax, thereby anchoring the command in the controversy over Roman taxation.
In context — Matthew 22:19
Show Me the coin for the tax, and they brought Him a denarius.
