| Obverse description | Bare head of Caligula (Gaius Caesar Germanicus) facing right, rendered in a naturalistic portrait style typical of early Imperial coinage. The emperor's features are depicted with a pronounced jaw and strong profile. The surrounding legend reads C CAESAR AVG GERM P M TR POT, distributed around the periphery of the flan, identifying him as Gaius Caesar, Augustus, conqueror of the Germans, Pontifex Maximus, and holder of tribunician power. The field is smooth silver with the characteristic irregular flan of hammered production. |
