| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted head of Mars facing right, depicted in fine late-Republican style with a plumed Attic-style helmet adorned with a crest and visor, the neck draped. The portrait is rendered with confident, bold relief characteristic of the moneyer's workshop, with no legend on this face. The coin's border of dots frames the design on the periphery. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two Celtic war trumpets (carnyces) arranged in saltire, their animal-headed bells pointing outward to the four diagonal directions. An oval Celtic shield appears in the upper field and a round shield in the lower field, together evoking the Gallic military trophies associated with the moneyer's campaigns. The legend ALBINVS BRVTI·F (or ALBINV BRVTI·F on the 1b variety) is distributed in the field, identifying D. Iunius Brutus Albinus as son of Brutus. A border of dots encircles the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus — not the more famous Marcus — issued this denarius in 48 BC while serving as moneyer, the same year Caesar crossed the Rubicon's political aftermath was still reverberating through Rome. Decimus would later be one of Caesar's assassins on the Ides of March in 44 BC, arguably the most trusted of the conspirators: Caesar had named him in his will and relied on him personally on that final morning to coax him to the Senate.
The inscription ALBINVS BRVTI•F asserts his dual lineage — adopted into the Postumia gens but claiming descent from both the Albini and the Bruti, the latter invoking L. Junius Brutus, the founder of the Republic itself.
