| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, encircled by a civic oak-wreath (corona civica), the wreath rendered with fine leaf detail characteristic of Augustan die-engraving. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic idealized features with neatly combed hair visible beneath the wreath. The circular legend runs around the periphery of the flan, divided by the portrait. The coin is struck on an irregular, somewhat broad flan typical of late Republican and early Imperial Roman silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | Facing busts of Augustus, laureate, to the left, and Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, wearing his distinctive combined mural and rostral crown, to the right, both figures togate and each holding a scroll (volumen); a capsa (cylindrical document case) is depicted at their feet. The juxtaposition of the two most powerful men in Rome on a single coin reverse is a remarkable statement of Augustan dynastic and political messaging. The moneyer's legend is inscribed in the field around the busts. |
