| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the classicizing style characteristic of early Imperial provincial coinage. Behind the portrait, a ligature monogram of ΜΓ appears in the field, while before the face a monogram of ΔΟ and a double axe — the ancient symbol of Tenedus — are prominently placed. The double axe serves as a principal civic emblem of the island, underscoring the local authority behind the issue. The portrait style reflects Augustan portraiture conventions adapted for a small Aegean civic mint. |
