| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Augustus facing right, rendered in the idealized Julio-Claudian tradition as founder-hero of the city. The effigy is depicted with classical proportions, the laurel wreath clearly delineated across the brow. The Greek legend ϹΕΒΑϹΤΟΥ ΚΤΙϹΜΑ ('Foundation of Augustus') surrounds the bust, referencing the civic origins of Nicopolis as founded by Augustus to commemorate his victory at Actium. |
