| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Augustus facing right, portrayed with youthful idealized features in the Hellenistic tradition, set within a laurel wreath border. The bust is rendered in fine relief against a plain field, with the emperor's characteristic hairstyle rendered in careful detail. The surrounding circular legend, partially visible due to the irregular flan, reads S C OB R P CVM SALVT IMP CAESAR AVGVS CONS, commemorating the senatorial decree honoring Augustus for the preservation of the state and his own safety. The overall style reflects the Augustan classicizing artistic program promoted at the Rome mint during the late 1st century BC. |

| Opschrift voorzijde | S C OB R P CVM SALVT IMP CAESAR AVGVS CONS (Translation: Senatus Consulto Ob Rem Publicam Cum Salute Imperatoris Caesaris Augusti Conservatam. By senatorial decree for having preserved the state along with the personal safety of supreme commander (Imperator) Caesar Augustus.) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing nude figure of Mars Ultor facing left, depicted in heroic contrapposto stance upon a rectangular podium or base, with right arm extended and left arm raised, holding a spear or standard. The god is rendered with muscular idealization consistent with Augustan classicizing sculpture, referencing the newly dedicated Temple of Mars Ultor in the Forum of Augustus. The surrounding legend naming the moneyer Lucius Mescinius Rufus and the vota publica of the Senate and Roman people appears to the left and right of the figure, partially truncated by the irregular flan. The composition reflects the dynastic and religious propaganda central to Augustan coinage of the period. |
