| Obverse description | Bare-headed and draped effigy of Divus Augustus seated left on a curule chair, holding a patera in his extended right hand and a long vertical sceptre in his left. The figure is rendered in the hieratic, deified manner characteristic of provincial imperial coinage under Tiberius. The Latin legend DEO AVGVSTO encircles the field, attesting to the posthumous divine honors accorded to Augustus. |

| Reverse description | Frontal view of a tetrastyle or octastyle temple set on a stepped podium, depicted with multiple columns beneath a triangular pediment, representing the provincial cult temple dedicated to the Aeternitas Augustae at Tarraco. The architectural rendering, with clearly articulated columns rising from a stepped base, reflects the monumental imperial cult sanctuary established in Hispania Tarraconensis. The encircling Latin legend C V T T AETERNITATIS AVGVSTAE identifies the issuing civic magistrates and the religious dedication of the type. |
