| Obverse description | Draped bust of a river goddess facing left, depicted in the act of spitting or emitting water from her mouth, a personification likely representing the Anas (Guadiana) river associated with the colony. The legend AVGVSTA EMERITA is disposed around the field in Latin characters within a dotted border, identifying the colonial foundation. The portrait is rendered in a provincial style characteristic of Augustan-era Hispanic colonial coinage. |
