| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in finely modeled relief with characteristic short, layered hair. The portrait displays the idealized yet individualized features associated with Augustan court portraiture of the late 1st century BC. The legend AVGVSTVS appears in the field to the right of the bust. The coin is struck on an irregular flan typical of late Republican and early Imperial hammered silver coinage, with a plain border around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | A curule chair (sella curulis) depicted in three-quarter perspective at center, serving as the principal design element and symbolizing magisterial authority. The inscription TR POT appears on or above the chair, referencing Augustus's tribunician power. The legend of the moneyer L CANINIVS GALLVS IIIVIR runs around the periphery of the flan. The reverse composition is framed by a plain border, and the overall style is consistent with issues of the moneyers (tresviri monetales) operating under Augustan supervision at the Rome Mint circa 12 BC. |
