| Obverse description | Bare-headed male bust facing right, rendered in a provincial style characteristic of late Republican colonial coinage. To the left of the bust stands a military standard or signum, and below the bust a horizontal legionary eagle or staff is visible. The legend M L D C P is distributed around the field in Latin capitals, referencing colonial magistrates or founders of the colony. The flan is irregular and shows typical hammered fabric with uneven edges and olive-green patina. The portrait, though coarsely engraved, conveys an authoritative, martial character consistent with early colonial Roman bronzes. |
