Obverse description Within a dotted border, the field displays three military symbols associated with the imperator Brutus: two beaded, vertical standards (vexilla) flanking a central lituus (augural curved staff), rendered in high relief with bold, simplified forms characteristic of late Republican emergency coinage. The legend BRVTVS appears in large, clearly incused capital letters along the lower portion of the field, identifying the issuing commander Marcus Junius Brutus. The overall composition is austere and heraldic, devoid of portraiture, reflecting Republican tradition and the symbolic authority of the mint magistrate.
