| Obverse description | Bare head of Caligula (Gaius Caesar) facing right, rendered in a realistic portrait style typical of early imperial coinage. The effigy displays a youthful, slightly idealized likeness with fine engraving of facial features. The surrounding legend reads C CAESAR AVG GERM P M TR POT, disposed in a circular arrangement around the portrait. The flan exhibits a slightly irregular edge characteristic of hand-struck Roman silver coinage. The field is largely plain, with no additional decorative elements. |
