| Obverse description | Augustus depicted in full equestrian effigy, shown riding a horse to the right, his figure laureate and wearing military attire. The emperor extends his right hand forward holding a patera in a gesture of sacrifice or offering. The horse is rendered in a lively, naturalistic pose with raised foreleg. The encircling legend runs along the coin's periphery in clear Latin characters within the field. The composition reflects the propagandistic imagery typical of Augustan coinage, presenting the emperor in a position of martial and religious authority. |

| Reverse description | A centrally placed apex — the distinctive conical felt cap of a Roman flamen priest — rendered in fine detail with its characteristic spike at the summit, flanked symmetrically on either side by two large oval shields (parma) decorated with elaborate dot and circular relief patterns. The design alludes to the priestly and martial symbolism of the Augustan regime. The legend is divided above and below the central devices, framing the composition within the coin's field. The overall arrangement is well-balanced and characteristic of the refined engraving style of the Augustan monetary triumvirs. |
