| Obverse description | Bare-shouldered laureate bust of Augustus facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair beneath the laurel wreath. The effigy displays the idealized portraiture characteristic of early Augustan coinage, with strong facial features and a composed expression. The encircling legend reads AVGVSTVS DIVI F, distributed around the periphery of the flan within a beaded border. The die work reflects the refined craftsmanship associated with the official Roman imperial mint, conveying both the emperor's divine lineage and his supreme authority. |

| Reverse description | The winged goddess Victory, fully draped, is depicted seated to the right atop a globe symbolizing Roman world dominion, her hands resting upon her lap in a composed, triumphant pose. Her large, elegantly rendered wings are spread prominently behind her, occupying much of the field. The scene is enclosed within a beaded border, with the legend TR POT XVII distributed around the periphery in clear Latin capitals. The composition effectively communicates Augustus's enduring military and political supremacy through the allegorical figure of Victory enthroned upon the world. |
