| Obverse description | Laureate head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the provincial Hispano-Roman style typical of Turiaso coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic features with a wreath of laurel leaves encircling the head. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, reading IMP AVGVSTVS PATER PATRIAE. The fields show the characteristic rough surface and irregular flan associated with provincial hammered coinage of the Augustan period. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a large inscription or civic emblem, with a municipal legend arranged around the periphery identifying the issuing magistrates. The reverse reads MVN TVRIASO L FENESTE L SERANO II VIR, naming the municipium of Turiaso and the two duoviri (magistrates) Lucius Fenestela and Lucius Seranus, who were responsible for the local issue. The flan is irregular and the surface patinated with dark green corrosion consistent with long burial, as typical of provincial Hispanian bronzes of this era. |
