| Reverse description | A togate priest, identified as Augustus in his role as founder, is depicted facing left driving a yoke of two oxen pulling a plough, a scene symbolising the ritual foundation (sulcus primigenius) of the Roman colony of Augusta Emerita. A figure stands to the left, likely holding a standard or ritual implement. The scene is enclosed within a dotted border, with the colonial name AVGVSTA appearing in the upper field and EMERITA in the exergue, together forming the full colonial designation AVGVSTA EMERITA. |
