| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in a slightly stylized provincial manner typical of North African colonial issues. The portrait is set within the coin's field without a border of dots, and partial legend surrounds the effigy. The workmanship reflects the hand of a local die-cutter working within the Augustan iconographic tradition. |

| Additional information |
Sicca Veneria, a Roman colony in North Africa (modern El Kef, Tunisia), produced a small civic bronze coinage under Augustus that is poorly documented even in specialist literature. The magistrate abbreviation M T F M M A — expanding to a pair of duumviri whose full names remain debated among epigraphers — places this issue within the colony's local administrative coinage, struck not by imperial directive but by civic initiative to supply small-denomination bronze that Rome's own mints rarely bothered to provide to provincial markets.
FITA 232 is the relevant corpus entry, though Ripollès's coverage of this colony's bronze is acknowledged to have gaps in die-linkage analysis.
