| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of winged Victory facing right, her wings partially visible behind the shoulders, rendered in fine relief characteristic of late Republican die-cutting. The legend C•CAES DIC•TER is distributed in the field to either side of the bust, identifying Gaius Caesar as dictator for the third time. The entire design is contained within a neat border of dots encircling the periphery of the flan. The portrait conveys an idealized, divine quality befitting the allegorical personification chosen to honour Caesar's dictatorship. |

This aureus belongs to a small group struck under the moneyer Lucius Munatius Plancus, serving as praetor urbanus in 45 BC while Caesar held his third dictatorship. Plancus was a consummate political survivor — he later backed Antony, then defected to Octavian at a critical moment, and is credited by some ancient sources with proposing the title "Augustus" to the Senate in 27 BC. That a man so central to the transition from Republic to Empire was also responsible for this late-Republican gold issue gives it an unusual biographical weight.
Caesar's third dictatorship was declared following Thapsus. He would be dead within the year.
