Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate bust of Augustus facing right, depicted with fine portraiture characteristic of late Augustan coinage from the Lugdunum mint. The emperor's bare neck and shoulders are rendered with careful relief, the laurel wreath rendered in detailed individual leaves. The circular legend reads CAESAR AVGVSTVS DIVI F PATER PATRIAE, disposed around the effigy, with the text beginning at the right field and continuing around the periphery. The overall style reflects the classicising aesthetic promoted under Augustus, combining idealized portraiture with authoritative imperial imagery.

Beschrijving keerzijde A draped female figure, identified as Livia in the guise of Pax or as a seated goddess, is depicted enthroned facing left upon a high-backed chair set on a raised platform. Her right hand extends forward holding a branch, likely an olive branch symbolising peace, while her left hand grasps a long vertical sceptre. The figure is rendered in flowing robes with careful attention to drapery folds. The abbreviated legend PONTIF MAXIM is disposed in the field to the left and right of the seated figure, referencing Augustus's title of Pontifex Maximus, the supreme priestly office of Rome.
