| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in fine portraiture characteristic of the Lugdunum mint, with short curling hair swept forward over the brow. The effigy is set within a beaded border that runs along the coin's periphery. The legend AVGVSTVS is inscribed to the left of the portrait and DIVI F to the right, identifying Augustus as the son of the deified Julius Caesar. The modeling of the face is naturalistic yet idealized, conveying imperial authority in the Hellenistic tradition. |
