| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in low relief in the provincial style. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic features with a broad forehead and classicizing treatment of the hair. A partial Latin legend surrounds the effigy in the field, partially legible on the flan. The flan is irregular and somewhat broad for the type, with a reddish-brown patina over the bronze core. |

| Reverse description | Latin inscription in four lines within a laurel wreath, reading the names and titles of the two duoviri monetales responsible for the emission. The wreath is tied at the base and encloses the magistrates' names in a neat epigraphic arrangement typical of Caesaraugusta coinage of the Augustan period. The legend is clearly struck and legible despite the coin's worn surfaces. A small decorative element, likely a pellet or knot, appears at the wreath base. |
