| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Augustus facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair bound by a laurel wreath. The portrait displays the idealized classicizing style characteristic of Augustan court art, with sharp facial features and a strong profile. The legend CAESARI AVGVSTO is disposed around the field in well-spaced Latin capitals, reading from lower left to upper right. A beaded border frames the design along the coin's irregular periphery. |
