| Obverse description | Central field depicts a toga picta draped over a tunica palmata, the ceremonial garments of a Roman triumph, arranged between two flanking symbols of imperial authority: an aquila (legionary eagle standard) to the left and a laurel wreath to the right. The composition is rendered in a compact, emblematic style characteristic of Augustan coinage, with the three motifs filling the field in a symmetrical arrangement. The legend is divided between the upper and lower portions of the coin, framing the central design. No portrait appears on this die; instead, the regalia themselves serve as the embodiment of Augustan power and senatorial honour. |

| Reverse description | A slow quadriga advances to the right, drawn by four finely detailed miniature horses rendered in high relief with individualised postures. The triumphal chariot is depicted with elaborate decorative elements visible on its body, consistent with the imagery of an Augustan processional triumph. Above the quadriga, the legend CAESARI appears in the upper field, while AVGVSTO is inscribed along the lower exergual area, together encircling the central design. The overall composition conveys the solemn grandeur of the Roman triumph and the divine sanction of Augustus's authority. |
