| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, depicted with finely rendered hair swept forward in the characteristic Augustan style. The portrait is executed in high relief with naturalistic modelling of the facial features, conveying youthful authority. The circular legend surrounds the effigy, running from lower left to upper right across the field. The portrait fills the coin's flan with commanding presence, consistent with the refined die-cutting of the Augustan reform coinage. |
