The effigy is rendered in the typical Alexandrian provincial style, with drapery folds visible at the shoulder. A circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait within a beaded border, identifying the empress as Augusta and Mother of the Augustus and of the Camps.

Reverse description	Bust of Athena facing right, draped and wearing an Attic helmet decorated with a griffin and a quadriga in relief. A palm branch appears to the right of the bust in the field, serving as a symbol of victory and divine favor. The reverse design is executed in the characteristic Alexandrian provincial style, with the regnal year legend placed prominently in the field. The composition reflects the Hellenistic artistic tradition deeply rooted in Ptolemaic and Roman Egyptian coinage.
