| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Augustus facing right, draped, depicted in the Roman imperial tradition with characteristic portraiture of the princeps. The surrounding field bears a Latin legend referencing the emperor's titulature. The flan is broad and irregular, typical of provincial bronze coinage, with the surface exhibiting an olive-green patina consistent with extended burial. The relief is moderately worn, partially obscuring finer details of the facial features. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts a standing figure, likely a civic or divine personification associated with Leptis Minor, holding what appears to be a stalk or sceptre in the right hand. The Greek legend ΛΕΠΤΙϹ Δ is distributed within the field, identifying the issuing city and the denomination mark Δ (4). The flan is irregular with a pronounced chip at the lower edge, and the surface carries a dark greenish-brown patina. The style is characteristic of North African provincial bronze issues struck under Augustus. |
