| Obverse description | Laureate and diademed head of Venus facing right, adorned with pendant earring and necklace, rendered in fine Republican style. The legend S•C (Senatus Consulto) appears behind the effigy in the left field. The design is enclosed within a border of dots. The portrayal of Venus reflects the gens Licinia's claimed divine associations and the political messaging common to late Republican coinage. |
