Beschrijving voorzijde Bare-headed, oak-wreathed bust of Augustus facing left, rendered in fine high relief with carefully articulated curls across the forehead and temples characteristic of Augustan portraiture. The effigy is rendered with an idealized classicizing style, the neck truncation visible at the coin's lower edge. The encircling Latin legend is divided to either side of the portrait, reading CAESAR to the left and AVGVSTVS to the right, disposed along the coin's inner periphery. The flan is slightly irregular, as typical of hammered silver issues of this period.

Opschrift voorzijde CAESAR AVGVSTVS
(Translation: Caesar Augustus.)
Beschrijving keerzijde Central depiction of the Sidus Iulium, the divine comet of Julius Caesar, rendered as a prominent eight-rayed star with a elongated, flame-like tail projecting upward from the central nucleus. The rays radiate symmetrically from a raised central boss, filling the coin's field in a bold, stylized design. The legend DIVVS IVLIVS is inscribed horizontally across the central field, divided to either side of the star's nucleus, referencing the posthumous deification of Julius Caesar. This reverse type directly commemorates the comet that appeared during the funeral games of Caesar in 44 BC, interpreted by the Roman populace as his apotheosis.
