| Obverse description | Laureate head of Augustus facing left, rendered in a bold if somewhat provincial style characteristic of Hispanian municipal coinage. The portrait features the emperor's characteristic laurel wreath and idealized facial profile. The surrounding field bears the encircling legend AVGVSTVS DIVI F, identifying Augustus as son of the deified Julius Caesar. The coin's irregular flan and surface patina are consistent with hammered bronze issues of the Caesaraugusta mint. |

| Reverse description | A two-line inscription enclosed within a laurel wreath, referencing the names of the local duoviri magistrates responsible for the coin's issue. The wreath is tied at the base and rendered with individual leaves carefully delineated despite the small module. The legend is distributed across the field within the wreath in a tabula ansata-style arrangement, a format common to Augustan-era Hispanic municipal bronzes. The overall design reflects the civic pride and administrative authority of the colonial magistrates of Caesaraugusta. |
