| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Emperor Caligula (Gaius Caesar Germanicus) facing left, rendered in a naturalistic Julio-Claudian portrait style with strongly modelled features, short curled hair, and a draped shoulder. The legend encircles the bust within the field, inscribed in Latin capitals. The portrait exhibits the characteristic idealized yet individualized treatment typical of early Imperial Roman coinage. |
