| Obverse description | The obverse reproduces the design of an ancient Roman aureus struck under the authority of Augustus, featuring his portrait in profile facing right, laureate, with the legend CAESAR AVGVSTVS flanked by two laurel branches. The national inscription ESPAÑA and the date 2008 appear alongside the mint mark M and the denomination 20 EURO, integrating the modern issuing authority's details into the classical composition. The design faithfully evokes the artistic style of Imperial Roman coinage, with the portrait rendered in the manner of Augustan numismatic portraiture. |
