| Obverse lettering | AVGVSTVS TRIBVNIC POTEST (Translation: Augustus Tribunicia Potestate. Augustus, holder of tribunician power.) |
| Reverse description | The reverse displays the large senatorial authorisation monogram S C (Senatus Consultum) prominently in the centre of the field, rendered in bold raised letters. Surrounding the S C, the moneyer's legend runs in a circle around the periphery of the coin. The inscription references Lucius Naevius Surdinus in his capacity as tresvir monetalis, one of the three magistrates responsible for the production of coinage in gold, silver, and bronze. The overall composition is austere and functional, consistent with the epigraphic style of Augustan aes coinage of the late first century BC. |
