| Obverse description | Draped bust of Venus facing left, her hair elaborately dressed and adorned with a floral ornament above the ear, wearing a pendant drop earring. A small Cupid figure appears at her left shoulder. The coin field is plain, and the border is composed of a beaded dotted circle. The portrait is rendered in the refined Hellenistic style characteristic of late Republican coinage, with fine engraving of the hair's wavy tresses and delicate facial features. |

| Reverse description | A Roman military trophy — consisting of a cuirass, helmet, and shields — stands centrally on a base, flanked by two Gallic captives: a nude male warrior to the left, kneeling with his arms bound behind his back, and a draped female figure to the right, also in a position of submission. The composition commemorates Caesar's victories in Gaul and is executed with considerable sculptural detail. The legend CAESAR appears in large, bold letters in the exergue below the scene, serving as a powerful political proclamation of Caesar's military triumphs. |
