| Obverse description | Three lines of Latin legend inscribed within a prominent oak wreath (corona civica), the entire design confined within the wreath without a central portrait. The oak wreath, awarded to Augustus for saving the lives of Roman citizens, serves as the principal decorative and symbolic element, its tied base visible at the lower field. The inscription is arranged horizontally across the coin's field in three registers, rendered in bold, well-spaced capital letters typical of early Augustan bronze coinage. |

| Reverse description | The large bold monogram S·C (Senatus Consultum) dominates the central field, struck in high relief and flanked by the encircling legend of the moneyer Titus Quinctius Crispinus Sulpicianus, his title and office distributed around the periphery. A dotted border frames the outer edge of the design. The bold S·C device, signifying senatorial authority over the bronze coinage, is a hallmark of the Augustan monetary reform and occupies the majority of the reverse field. |
