Reverse description A bull standing left, rendered with considerable naturalistic vigor, its body depicted in three-quarter perspective with musculature clearly articulated. The animal's head is lowered and turned slightly toward the viewer, conveying a sense of power and movement. Above the bull, a flying eagle or bird is visible, though partially obscured by the irregular flan edges. The reverse legend IMP X appears in the field, referencing Augustus's tenth imperatorial acclamation. The overall composition is bold and occupies most of the available die surface, reflecting the confident artistic program of the Augustan Spanish mint coinage.
