| Reverse description | The large senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) dominates the central field in bold raised letters, affirming that this issue was struck by decree of the Roman Senate. Surrounding the S C, the moneyer's legend is inscribed in a circular arrangement within a beaded border. The design is austere and purely epigraphic, characteristic of the Augustan monetary reform coinage issued under the tresviri monetales. |

| Additional information |
The tresviri aetere argento auro flando feriundo — the mint magistrates whose abbreviated titles appear on this coin — were a board of three officials responsible for overseeing bronze, silver, and gold production at Rome. Under Augustus, the position was revived and given renewed visibility on the coinage itself, a deliberate policy choice that projected the restored republican apparatus while keeping real monetary control firmly with the princeps.
P. Stolo is among the lesser-documented of the Augustan mint magistrates; his family name suggests Licinian connections, though his career outside this coinage leaves almost no trace in the literary record.
