| Obverse description | Victory personified standing to the right atop a globe, rendered in the Roman Imperial hammered tradition. In her raised right hand she holds a laurel wreath, while her left hand bears a long palm branch. The figure is depicted in flowing drapery, conveying martial triumph and divine favour. The encircling legend SALVS GENER HVMANI frames the design, proclaiming the salvation of the human race. |

| Reverse description | The bold legend S P Q R is inscribed in large raised letters within the field, entirely enclosed by a finely rendered civic oak wreath (corona civica) tied at the base with a decorative knot. A small pellet or roundel appears at the apex of the wreath. The oak wreath, a symbol of honour awarded for saving the life of a Roman citizen, here serves as a powerful emblem of senatorial authority and the sovereignty of the Roman people. |
