| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the idealized Hellenistic portrait style characteristic of early Augustan coinage. The emperor's features are depicted with short, lightly striated hair swept forward over the brow. The portrait is positioned centrally within the field with no surrounding legend, consistent with the anonymous coinage struck under Augustus for circulation in the eastern provinces. The flan is irregular and the relief is moderately worn. |

| Reverse description | The bold monogram or letters CA (for Caesar) displayed prominently at the centre of the reverse, enclosed within a dotted linear circle, which is itself surrounded by a laurel wreath. The wreath is tied at the base and the branches extend symmetrically around the inner circle. The design is stark and heraldic in character, emphasizing the imperial title without further embellishment. The overall composition is typical of the coinage attributed to the mint of Caesaraugusta or to the early Augustan eastern mint series. |
