| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare or laureate draped bust of Augustus facing right, rendered in high relief in the Hellenistic tradition of the Syrian mint. The portrait displays finely detailed wavy hair swept forward across the brow, characteristic of Augustan imperial iconography as adapted for the eastern provincial coinage of Antioch. The Greek legend KAIΣAPOΣ ΣEBAΣTOY (of Caesar Augustus) is disposed around the periphery of the field. The overall style reflects the provincial engraving conventions of the Antiochene tetradrachm series. The relief is bold, consistent with the original prototype struck under Augustus for circulation in Syria. |

Reader's Digest produced a series of replica ancient coins in the 1970s and early 1980s, distributed through mail-order promotions and packaged educational sets aimed at a general consumer audience. These were never intended as collectibles in any numismatic sense — they were marketing vehicles.
No numismatic significance attaches to the piece itself.
