| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features the large senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) prominently displayed in the central field, the letters boldly rendered in high relief against the flat surface. Surrounding the S C, a circular legend names the moneyer responsible for the issue, running continuously around the coin's periphery. The composition is typical of Augustan aes coinage, where the S C monogram dominates the design as a declaration of senatorial authority over base-metal currency, while the moneyer's name encircles it in a single unbroken line. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The tresviri monetales — the three-man commission overseeing coinage — were a Republican institution Augustus deliberately retained to project continuity while simultaneously monopolizing actual monetary authority. Titus Crispinus Sulpicianus held this magistracy around 18 BC, one of the last generations for whom the position carried any meaningful administrative independence. Within decades it would become ceremonial in all but name.
The SC notation on bronzes of this period reflects a genuine senatorial role in authorizing aes coinage, distinct from the gold and silver Augustus controlled directly through his own procurators.
