| Reverse description | A Victory figure, rendered as a winged figure with outstretched wings, is depicted perched atop a globe set upon a decorative column base, grasping a trophy or standard at the center. To the left, a large Parthian-style mask or bearded barbarian head with exaggerated features occupies the lower field, alluding to Roman victories over Parthia and the recovery of the legionary standards. The inscription S · P · Q · R · appears in the upper field above the central device, while CL · V appears on the globe, referencing the clupeus virtutis, the golden shield of virtue awarded to Augustus by the Senate. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
