| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large round clipeus (shield) depicted frontally and in relief, occupying most of the reverse field. The shield displays three concentric rows of hemispherical studs or bosses arranged in circular bands, with a prominent central boss at the centre. The legend IMP CAESAR DIVI F is distributed around the shield in four segments — IMP above, CAESAR divided to the left and right at mid-field, and DIVI F below — all in bold Latin capitals. The design evokes the clupeus virtutis (shield of virtue) awarded to Augustus by the Senate, serving as a potent symbol of military and civic honour. |

Struck in the narrow window between Actium and the formal settlement of 27 BC, this issue belongs to the transitional moment when Octavian was dismantling the Republic in everything but name while carefully avoiding the title that had gotten Caesar killed. The "DIVI F" — son of the deified — was his most politically potent credential during these years, and its prominence on the coinage was deliberate propaganda ahead of the Senate's grant of the Augustan name.
RIC I 543A is a relatively scarce type within the Actian-period series, attributed to a travelling military mint likely operating in the eastern Mediterranean following the defeat of Antony and Cleopatra.
