| Obverse lettering | IMP CAESAR (Translation: Imperator Caesar. Supreme commander (Imperator) and Caesar.) |
| Reverse description | A Capricorn, the personal birth sign of Augustus, strides to the right with head turned back to the left, bearing a cornucopia upon its back — a symbol of abundance and prosperity under the new Augustan order. The entire device is enclosed within a laurel wreath tied at the base, referencing the corona civica and the honors bestowed upon Augustus by the Senate. The legend AVGVSTVS arcs above the wreath. The composition is bold and emblematic, conveying dynastic legitimacy and divine favour through a well-known Augustan propaganda motif. |
