Obverse description Draped bust of Virtus facing right, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet adorned with a plume; the helmet visor is raised, revealing the goddess's profile with finely rendered hair falling behind the neck. The bust is depicted in high relief with carefully articulated drapery at the shoulder. The encircling legend reads L AQVILLIVS FLORVS IIIVIR, identifying the moneyer Lucius Aquillius Florus in his capacity as Triumvir Monetalis. The inscription is distributed around the field, partially visible on the coin's irregular flan. The style is consistent with the refined die-cutting of the Augustan monetary workshops.
