| Reverse description | Four priestly emblems of Augustus arranged symmetrically in the field: a simpulum (ladle) and a lituus (augural staff) in the upper half, and a tripod and a patera (libation dish) in the lower half. These instruments collectively allude to Augustus's multiple priestly offices and religious authority. The legend is arranged across the central field in two lines, reading COS above and IMP CAESAR AVGVS / XI below, referencing Augustus's eleventh consulship. The composition is bold and heraldic, the symbols rendered with clarity against a flat, unadorned field. |
