| Reverse description | A bound sheaf of six ears of grain occupying the central field, the stalks tied together at the base and fanning upward symmetrically, conveying themes of agricultural abundance and Augustan prosperity. The legend AVGVSTVS is inscribed horizontally across the lower central portion of the sheaf, divided by the binding point. The design is enclosed within a beaded border and the field is otherwise plain, allowing the boldly rendered grain motif to dominate the composition. |
