| Obverse description | Personification of Africa in right-facing profile bust, draped, wearing an elephant-skin headdress — the scalp and trunk serving as a distinctive identifying attribute of the continent. The bust is rendered in high relief with fine die-cutting characteristic of late Republican aurei. A border of dots frames the entire design field. |
