Obverse description Bare laureate head of Augustus facing left, rendered in fine Classical style with naturalistic detail; the wreath of laurel is depicted with individual leaves tied at the nape. The legend is partially visible in the field, with the inscription AVGVSTVS to the left and DIVI F to the right, identifying the emperor as son of the deified Julius Caesar. The portrait displays the idealized yet individualized features characteristic of Augustan official coinage, with a strong jawline and refined profile. The coin's flan is slightly irregular, as is typical of hand-struck Roman silver of this period.
