| Obverse description | Laureate head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait style characteristic of Alexandrian civic coinage. The emperor's facial features are depicted with moderate relief on a plain field. The Greek legend ΚΑΙΣΑΡ (Caesar) appears around the effigy, serving as the obverse inscription identifying the ruler. |

| Reverse description | The distinctive headdress of Isis — comprising a throne or seat flanked by plumes or horns — depicted centrally within a laurel wreath that encircles the entire reverse field. This emblem reflects the strong Egyptian religious symbolism deliberately incorporated into Alexandrian coinage under Augustus. The Greek legend ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΣ (Augustus) is inscribed within or around the wreath. |
