| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the idealized portrait style characteristic of Augustan provincial coinage. The effigy displays the emperor's distinctive features with short hair swept forward across the brow. The circular legend surrounds the portrait, reading IMP AVGVS(TVS) DIVI F, proclaiming Augustus as Imperator and son of the deified Julius Caesar. The flan is slightly irregular, as is typical of hammered Hispanic municipal issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | A she-wolf strides to the right in the field, rendered in low relief with summary but recognizable anatomical detail, serving as the civic emblem of Ilerda (modern Lleida, Hispania Tarraconensis). The legend MVNICIP ILERDA appears in two lines across the upper field, identifying the issuing municipality. The type references the mythological associations of the Iberian town with Roman foundation legends. The overall style reflects the local die-cutting tradition of the Augustan Hispanic mints. |
