| Obverse description | Bare head of Octavian Caesar facing right, with a slight youthful beard, rendered in a restrained Hellenistic style. The portrait is set within a dotted border, with the Latin legend CAESAR inscribed along the left field. The effigy displays the characteristic physiognomy of the young Octavian, with sharply defined features and close-cropped hair. |

| Reverse description | A naval prow with full superstructure and upright mast, depicted facing right in detailed relief, referencing Roman naval power and the victories of the period. The prow features clearly articulated oar-ports rendered as a row of circular apertures along the hull, with a prominent volute at the bow and a vertical mast rising centrally above the deck structure. The design is contained within a dotted border, the field otherwise devoid of legend, emphasizing the symbolic primacy of the naval imagery. |
