| Reverse description | A legionary aquila (eagle standard) displayed centrally between two military signa (standards), each topped with decorative elements and discs, symbolizing the two legions — Legio V and Legio X — that participated in the founding of the colony. The design is boldly rendered in the field with the colonial abbreviation C·A·E· and the legionary numerals LE·V·X flanking or surrounding the standards. This type is a hallmark of Emerita's coinage, commemorating its foundation as a veterans' colony. The flan is irregular and the relief is moderately worn. |
