| Reverse description | Capricorn facing right in the upper field, depicted as a sea-goat with the foreparts of a goat and a fish tail, carrying a globe on its back and holding a rudder beneath its body; a cornucopia issues from its back. The legend AVGVSTVS is inscribed in the lower field in large, well-spaced Latin capital letters. The Capricorn was Augustus's birth sign and a favourite personal emblem, emblematic of his destined world dominion, as symbolised by the globe and rudder of fortune. |
