| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the idealized portrait style characteristic of Augustan coinage. The emperor's effigy is depicted with fine facial detail, though this example shows considerable surface wear and patination obscuring much of the finer relief. A circular legend runs along the periphery of the flan. The portrait typology follows the standard early imperial convention of presenting the princeps in an unadorned, classicizing manner. |

| Reverse description | Central field occupied by the large senatorial mark S C (Senatus Consultum), rendered in bold letters within the open field, affirming the senate's authority over bronze coinage. A circular legend naming the moneyer Sextus Nonius Quinctilianus in his capacity as Triumvir Monetalis surrounds the central device. The reverse composition is typical of the Augustan aes coinage series, where the abbreviated title IIIVIR A A A F F records the moneyer's official responsibility for the casting and striking of gold, silver, and bronze denominations. |
