Reverse description A charging bull depicted in left-facing profile, head lowered aggressively in a butting pose, with the musculature rendered with vigor and naturalism typical of Augustan die-cutters. The animal stands on a plain ground line, with the exergual legend IMP X inscribed below in bold capital letters. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. The bull motif is associated with military and dynastic symbolism, referencing Augustus's tenth imperatorial acclamation.
