| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the idealized portrait style typical of early Imperial provincial coinage. The effigy displays the emperor's characteristic youthful features with close-cropped hair. The circular legend AVGVSTVS ACRAG runs around the periphery of the flan, identifying both the emperor and the issuing city of Acragas (Agrigentum). The coin exhibits a deep green patina consistent with its bronze composition and considerable age. |

| Reverse description | Multi-line honorific inscription enclosed within a laurel wreath, a design type common to provincial bronze coinage of the Augustan period. The wreath, tied at the base, frames the magistrates' names and titles arranged in several lines across the field. The legends record the names of the local duumvirs Lucius Statius and Publius Cotta, along with the proconsul Lucius Mussidius, reflecting the administrative hierarchy of the Roman colony at Agrigentum. The overall surface shows heavy patination with areas of green and brown encrustation. |
