| Obverse description | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Augustus facing left, rendered in fine high relief with characteristic Augustan portraiture: idealized yet individualized features, with the laurel wreath seated atop neatly arranged hair falling in short locks over the brow. The neck is bare and the truncation falls cleanly below the jaw. The encircling legend CAESARI AVGVSTO is disposed around the field, reading from left to right, with a beaded border clearly visible along the coin's periphery. |
