| Reverse description | An elephant, rendered in bold relief, advances to the right while drawing a two-wheeled cart or carpentum bearing a figure holding an olive branch, symbolizing peace and the Augustan programme of political renewal. The exergue carries the inscription CAESAR in large, clearly incised letters, asserting the authority of Augustus. The legend AVGVSTVS appears in the upper field around the rim. The composition is dynamic and propagandistic, the elephant being a well-established Roman symbol of triumph, strength, and exotic imperial power. The border of the coin shows a partial beaded rim consistent with Augustan mint practice at Rome. |
