| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in a naturalistic Hellenistic style characteristic of Spanish mint issues. The portrait displays finely detailed hair swept forward over the brow, with strong facial features befitting the imperial iconography of the Augustan period. The legend CAESAR is disposed around the effigy, with letters partially visible in the field to the left and right of the bust. The coin exhibits the slightly irregular flan typical of western provincial hammered silver coinage of this era. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued in the immediate aftermath of Augustus's triple triumph of 29 BC and the formal settlement of 27 BC, this denarius belongs to a period when the mint was actively producing propaganda coinage to consolidate the new political order. The RIC I 540 type is associated with the Spanish mint at Colonia Patricia or Emerita — not Rome — reflecting Augustus's practice of maintaining traveling mints closer to his military operations on the western frontier.
Cohen 2 placement confirms this as an early imperial issue predating the transfer of precious metal coinage to Lugdunum around 15 BC.
