| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing left, rendered in profile with restrained naturalistic portraiture characteristic of early Augustan provincial coinage. The legend PERM CAES AVG (Permissu Caesaris Augusti, meaning 'by permission of Caesar Augustus') is arranged in the left field, preceded by a dotted border. The flan is irregular and shows typical fabric of Hispanian colonial bronzes of the period. |

| Reverse description | Two-line Latin inscription IVLIA TRAD, identifying the issuing colony of Iulia Traducta, enclosed within a oak wreath (corona civica) tied at the base. The wreath is rendered with clearly articulated leaves and is surmounted by a small decorative element at the apex. The composition is centrally placed on the flan, consistent with the civic pride expressed by this Augustan colonial foundation in Hispania Baetica. |
