| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in fine portraiture with naturalistic detail to the hair, which falls in layered, wavy locks across the crown and temples. The legend CAESAR DIVI F COS VI is disposed around the periphery, reading partially to the right and partially to the left of the effigy. Beneath the truncation of the neck, a small capricorn is depicted facing right, serving as a personal emblem of Augustus and an allusion to his claimed birth sign. The portrait reflects the restrained classicizing style characteristic of Augustan coinage in the early Principate. |

| Opschrift voorzijde | CAESAR DIVI F COS VI (Translation: Caesar, son of the divine, consul for the sixth time.) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Nile crocodile, symbol of Egypt, is depicted in profile standing right and occupying the full width of the field, its scaly dorsal ridge and legs rendered with careful detail. The two-word legend is divided across the field, with AEGVPTO arching above the crocodile and CAPTA inscribed below, together proclaiming the Roman conquest of Egypt. The coin field is otherwise plain, lending stark emphasis to the triumphant political message. A beaded border frames the design along the lower edge. This celebrated type commemorates Augustus's defeat of Antony and Cleopatra in 30 BC and the annexation of Egypt as an imperial province. |
