| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered with characteristic flat-topped crown of hair in the early imperial portrait style; the effigy displays finely engraved strands of hair swept forward across the brow. The surrounding field carries a linear border, with the legend distributed around the periphery. The portrait conveys the restrained classicising style typical of Augustan coinage issued under the tresviri monetales. |
