| Obverse description | Bare head of Octavian (the future Augustus) facing right, rendered in a youthful portrait style characteristic of late Republican coinage. The effigy displays short, tightly curled hair rendered with fine detail, and a clean-shaven face with strong, idealized features. A dotted border frames the field. The surrounding legend reads C•CAESAR•IMP•III•VIR•R•P•C•PON͡T•A͡V, identifying Gaius Caesar as imperator, triumvir for the restoration of the Republic, and pontifex, distributed around the portrait. |
