| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing left, rendered in fine classical style with naturalistic portraiture characteristic of early Augustan coinage. The hair is depicted in short, layered strands swept forward over the brow in the manner established by court sculptors of the period. The encircling legend CAESAR AVGVSTVS runs in two sections around the periphery of the flan, with CAESAR to the left and AVGVSTVS to the right. The portrait fills the flan generously, reflecting the broad, slightly irregular hammered planchet typical of coins struck at the Colonia Patricia mint. The overall style is refined and idealized, consistent with the propagandistic representation of the princeps on Augustan silver coinage. |
