| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine Republican style with elaborately detailed hair bound by a laurel wreath. The legend C. EGATVLEI runs along the left field, identifying the moneyer Gaius Egnatuleius, son of Gaius, who served as quaestor. A small Q, denoting the quaestor's office, appears below or adjacent to the truncation. The portrait exhibits the characteristic sharp, almost archaic engraving style of late 2nd-century BC Roman coinage. |

| Reverse description | Winged Victory standing left, wearing a flowing chiton, leaning forward to inscribe a shield or tablet affixed to a military trophy erected on a base. The trophy, composed of armour and weapons, stands to the left, with a Gallic captive kneeling at its foot. The letter Q, denoting the quaestor's office, appears in the central field. The legend ROMA is inscribed in the exergue. The composition is vigorous and dynamic, characteristic of the artistic repertoire of the late Roman Republic. |
