| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Augustus facing left, rendered in fine relief with naturalistically detailed hair swept forward in characteristic Augustan fashion. The portrait presents a youthful, idealized effigy consistent with early imperial portraiture conventions. The legend AVGVSTVS is inscribed along the lower exergual area in incuse Latin capitals. The flan is slightly irregular, as is typical of hammered Augustan aurei, with the portrait filling the field in a confident, high-relief style. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A winged sphinx is depicted seated to the right, its leonine haunches tucked beneath its body and its forequarters raised, with the human head turned slightly outward and crowned with a wreath or headdress. The creature's large, elaborately feathered wing rises prominently behind its back, rendered with fine detail. The sphinx, a personal device associated with Augustus and used as his seal, served here as a dynastic emblem. The legend CAPTA appears in the lower field in Latin capitals, forming part of the commemorative inscription ARMENIA CAPTA celebrating the Roman subjugation of Armenia under Augustus in 20–19 BC. |
