| Obverse description | Bare-headed and draped bust of Marcus Antonius facing right, rendered in bold high relief with distinctive curly hair rendered in detailed layered strokes. The surrounding circular legend reads M·ANTONI·M·F·M·N·AVG·IMP·TERT, identifying him as Marcus Antonius, son of Marcus, grandson of Marcus, Augur, and Imperator for the third time. The field is plain, and the coin is bordered by a neat row of beads forming a well-defined inner rim typical of late Republican gold coinage. |

| Reverse description | Bare-headed and draped bust of Marcus Antonius Antyllus, eldest son of Marcus Antonius, facing right, portrayed as a youthful figure with short curly hair rendered in fine relief. The surrounding circular legend reads COS·ITER·DESIGN·TERT·III·VIR·R·P·C, proclaiming him consul for the second time, consul-designate for the third time, and triumvir for the reconstitution of the Republic. The portrait, smaller and more youthful in character than the obverse, is enclosed within a well-defined border of beads, consistent with the engraving conventions of late Republican military mint coinage. |
