| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the restrained classicizing style characteristic of Julio-Claudian portraiture. The emperor's features are idealized yet individualized, with the laurel wreath denoting his divine and imperial status. The encircling legend runs along the outer border of the flan. The portrait occupies the majority of the obverse field, with the coin exhibiting the irregular flan shape typical of hammered Roman provincial bronzes of this period. |
