| Obverse description | Bare-headed male bust facing right, depicted in a sober, classicising style typical of Caesarean and Triumviral colonial issues. The hair is rendered with fine radiating strokes swept forward over the brow. The bust is draped, with the truncation falling at the lower right field. The colonial legend COL VIC IVL LEP curves along the right and lower periphery, identifying the issuing colony of Colonia Victrix Iulia Lepida. |

| Reverse description | A yoke of two oxen advancing to the right, led by a togated figure (the augur or founder) walking before them and holding a goad or staff; the scene alludes to the ritual ploughing of the colonial boundary (sulcus primigenius). A horizontal ground line divides the field. The magistrates' names are distributed in two lines: PR QVIN in the upper field above the scene, and M FVL C OTAC in the exergue below, recording the quinquennales Marcus Fulvius and Caius Otacilius responsible for the issue. |
