| Reverse description | A Capricorn, the personal emblem of Augustus and a recurring Julio-Claudian dynastic symbol, striding to the right across the field, with a celestial globe positioned beneath its body. A prominent eight-pointed star occupies the upper field above the creature, reinforcing the astrological and imperial symbolism of the type. The composition is enclosed within a dotted border, with the colonial Latin legend disposed in the lower exergual area and around the field. The reverse design alludes to the divine favour and cosmic authority claimed by the ruling dynasty. The overall style is characteristic of the Sinopean colonial mint under Nero. |
