| Reverse description | A sphinx seated right in a composed, heraldic pose, with folded wings rising prominently above its leonine body and a curled tail extending behind. The sphinx bears a human head with the features of Augustus, facing right. The legend AVGVSTVS arcs across the upper field in Latin letters. The design is enclosed within a beaded border. The sphinx was a personal emblem of Augustus, famously used as his seal, lending this reverse type strong dynastic and personal significance. |
