| Obverse description | Draped bust of Venus facing right, her elaborately dressed hair adorned with a pearl diadem and arranged in ridged waves, with a small Cupid visible at her neck. The serrated edge of the flan is clearly visible around the circumference. The legend MAXSVMVS appears in the left field, referencing the moneyer's cognomen. The portrait is rendered in a refined late-Republican style with confident, flowing lines. |

| Reverse description | A biga drawn by two horses galloping to the right, driven by a draped charioteer holding the reins; above, a winged figure (Victory) flies to crown the driver. In the exergue, the moneyer's inscription C•EGNATIVS•CN•F is inscribed in two lines, with CN•N below, identifying Gaius Egnatius as son of Gnaeus and grandson of Gnaeus. The serrated flan border frames the composition, which is characteristic of the late-Republican denarius serratus type. |
