| Obverse lettering | C CAESAR AVG GERM P M TR POT (Translation: Caius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestate. Gaius Caesar, emperor (Augustus), conqueror of the Germans, high priest, holder of tribunician power.) |
| Reverse description | Bare head of the deified Augustus facing right, adorned with a radiate crown whose pointed rays project outward, symbolizing his divine status as Divus Augustus. The portrait is rendered with mature, idealized features and a slightly fuller face than Caligula's obverse effigy, consistent with posthumous commemorative imagery. The neck truncation is plain. The encircling legend in Latin proclaims Augustus as the divine Father of the Fatherland. |
