| Obverse description | Bare or lightly draped bust of Augustus facing right, rendered in a provincial style characteristic of North African municipal coinage of the Augustan period. The portrait displays the characteristic facial features of the emperor with a slightly idealized treatment of the hair. A partial Latin legend surrounds the bust, attributing the issue to the local magistrate Gaius Flaminius Capitolinus. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with locally produced hammered bronze coinage. The coin surface exhibits a dark patina with areas of corrosion and wear obscuring finer detail. |

| Reverse description | Radiate head of Augustus facing right, depicted in the local Punic-Roman provincial tradition of Hadrumetum, with pronounced radiate crown rendered as bold projecting rays. The portrait is rendered in a somewhat schematic provincial style, with the facial features visible despite significant surface wear and patination. The surrounding Latin legend, partially legible, records the name of the duovir or local magistrate responsible for the issue. The irregular flan edges and uneven strike are consistent with municipal bronze production in Africa Proconsularis during the Augustan era. |
