| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, with characteristically styled hair rendered in short, layered locks. A crescent symbol appears below the neck truncation. The effigy is set within a beaded border, with traces of a Latin legend partially visible around the periphery. The portrait displays the classicizing style typical of Augustan provincial coinage in Tripolitania. |

| Reverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, with long locks of hair falling onto the neck and a laurel branch or wreath visible above the head. The god's features are rendered in a Hellenistic provincial style, with wavy hair and a calm, idealized expression. A Neo-Punic legend is partially visible in the field to the left of the bust. The reverse type reflects the strong association of Augustus with Apollo as his divine patron. |
