| Obverse description | Bare head of Emperor Augustus facing right, rendered in a naturalistic Hellenistic style with finely detailed facial features. The portrait is set within a beaded border and occupies the central field. A partial Greek legend reading ϹΕΒΑϹΤΟ (Sebastos, the Greek equivalent of Augustus) accompanies the effigy. The coin's irregular flan is typical of provincial bronze coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold two-line Greek inscription filling the field, reading ΡΗΓΛΟΣ (Regulus), the name of the local magistrate or civic authority responsible for the issue. The large, deeply incised letters are set without a border, characteristic of Syrian provincial civic bronzes. The plain, unadorned field emphasizes the epigraphic nature of the design. |
