| Reverse description | Prow of a Roman war galley (trireme) oriented to the right, depicted in profile with characteristic architectural superstructure and a mast rising above the deck. An apotropaic eye is rendered on the hull of the vessel, a traditional Mediterranean maritime motif intended to ward off evil. The design is executed in bold relief typical of provincial copper coinage of the Augustan period. The abbreviated colonial legend appears in the field. |
