| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic-Egyptian provincial style typical of Alexandrian coinage. The portrait displays the characteristic features of the emperor with a laurel wreath encircling the head. The flan is irregular and the field is plain, with no surrounding legend, consistent with Alexandrian bronzes of this period. |
