| Obverse description | Bare head of Marcus Antonius facing right, rendered in a vigorous, somewhat austere late-Republican portrait style with short hair and a strong jaw. The effigy is positioned centrally within a border of beads. The encircling legend M·ANTONIVS·III·VIR·R·P·C reads around the field, identifying the subject as Marcus Antonius, triumvir for the restoration of the Republic. The die-work is characteristic of a military traveling mint, exhibiting bold if slightly uneven lettering. |
