| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Augustus facing right, depicted in a restrained, classicising style characteristic of early imperial portraiture, set at the centre of a circular clipeus (round shield). The shield is enclosed within a prominent laurel wreath that frames the entire field. An encircling Latin legend runs between the wreath and the coin's irregular edge. The portrait presents the emperor with short, neatly combed hair and a youthful, idealised physiognomy. |
