| Beschrijving voorzijde | The reverse die is depicted here as the obverse image. The coin shows Augustus seated on horseback facing right, rendered in the Roman imperial style. The emperor is shown in military attire, riding a prancing horse, with architectural elements visible to the right of the field. In the exergue, a partial inscription reading S P Q R / IMP / CAES is visible. The overall composition is characteristic of Augustan-era hammered silver coinage, with a slightly irregular flan and bold, deeply struck relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This issue belongs to a brief but politically charged series struck by the moneyer L. Vinicius, one of three tresviri monetales appointed around 16 BC — the same year Augustus returned to Rome after reorganizing the eastern provinces and settling the Armenian question. The S P Q R legends on coinage of this period were carefully calculated, framing imperial achievements as acts of the senate and people rather than personal autocratic victories.
L. Vinicius later rose to the consulship in 5 AD, making his moneyer coinage an early career artifact of a man who would remain in Augustus's orbit for decades.
