| Obverse description | Laureate head of Jupiter facing right, rendered in bold relief with characteristic flowing hair and beard rendered in thick, stylized locks. A control letter appears in the left field behind the head. The portrait displays the vigorous, somewhat schematic style typical of late Republican quinarii, with strong facial features and a well-defined laurel wreath crowning the deity's brow. |

| Reverse description | Victory standing right, extending a laurel wreath to crown a trophy erected at left; a vertical inscription divides the two figures in the field. A control letter appears in the right field, while the letter Q is placed in the exergue, denoting the moneyer's quaestorial title. The composition follows the established Republican quinarius reverse type, with Victory's wings spread and drapery rendered in dynamic lines. |
