| Obverse description | Radiate and draped bust of Tetricus II (Caesar) facing right, rendered in one of two portrait types: as a young child (type E) or as an adolescent (type A). The obverse legend surrounds the bust in Latin capitals. Care should be taken not to confuse this type with AGK 5a, which lacks the interpunctuation dots separating the title abbreviations in the inscription. |

| Reverse description | Depiction of pontifical instruments, including an aspergillum, simpulum, lituus, and patera or jug, arranged in the field. The central vessel appears in one of four variants: a solid-bodied vase (type P) or a fluted vase (type C), each with the handle oriented either to the right (R) or to the left (L), yielding four distinct sub-types. The reverse legend PIETAS AVGVSTOR is distributed around the design in Latin capitals, invoking the piety of the Augustan rulers. |
