| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare laureate head of Augustus facing right, depicted with characteristic Augustan portraiture of fine curled hair beneath the laurel wreath. The circular legend reads AVGVSTVS DIVI F, identifying the emperor as son of the deified Julius Caesar. The portrait is rendered in the official Augustan style typical of Hispanian provincial bronzes, with the legend disposed around the periphery of the flan. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A mounted horseman advancing at full gallop to the right, brandishing a spear or lance in his raised right hand, rendered in the dynamic Iberian equestrian tradition characteristic of Hispanic provincial coinage. The horse is depicted with elongated stride and raised forelegs. The circular legend surrounding the central design reads M QVINCTIO Q AELIO II VIR V V OSCA, naming the two duoviri quinquennales (magistrates) M. Quinctius and Q. Aelius responsible for the issue, along with the mint city Osca (modern Huesca, Spain). The abbreviation V V refers to their quinquennial office. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Osca — modern Huesca in Aragon — was among the Hispanic mints granted the right to strike bronze coinage under Augustus, a privilege tied directly to the administrative reorganization of Hispania following the Cantabrian Wars. The magistrates named on this piece, drawn from the local duoviri quinquennales, represent the Roman colonial hierarchy at work in a recently pacified province still integrating into imperial structures. The quinquennial designation indicates these magistrates held census-taking authority, a higher-grade appointment issued only every five years.
