| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the characteristic flat-topped style associated with this series, the hair arranged in short, close-cropped locks. The effigy is depicted with idealized classical features, the truncation of the neck visible at the coin's lower field. The Latin legend encircles the portrait within a linear border, reading CAESAR DIVI F AVGVST. |

| Obverse lettering | CAESAR DIVI F AVGVST (Translation: Caesari Divi Filius Augustus. Caesar, son of the divine, Augustus.) |
| Reverse description | Bare, bearded head of Numa Pompilius, the legendary second king of Rome, facing right and adorned with a diadem, the portrait rendered in a deliberately archaizing style to evoke antiquity and dynastic legitimacy. The truncation of the neck is visible at the lower field, and a sprig or olive branch is discernible near the throat area. The encircling Latin legend, distributed around the portrait within a linear border, records the names of the three moneyers responsible for this issue: CN PISO L SVRDIN C PLOT RVF. |
