| Obverse description | Bare head of Octavian facing left, depicted with youthful, idealised features in the Hellenistic tradition. The portrait displays finely rendered, short curling hair swept forward across the brow, with no legend present in the field. The effigy is rendered in high relief characteristic of late Republican and early Augustan gold coinage, with the neck truncation cleanly cut. The portrait occupies the full field within a plain border, conveying the authority and dynastic ambition of the future emperor. |
