| Reverse description | A bull charging and butting to the left, depicted with vigorous musculature and lowered head in an aggressive posture, its tail raised. The legend AVGVSTVS DIVI F is distributed around the field within a beaded border, with additional lettering visible in the lower exergual area. The bull motif, rendered in a bold and compact style typical of Augustan bronze coinage, likely alludes to Roman martial strength and the dynastic legitimacy of Augustus as son of the deified Julius Caesar. |
