| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the portrait style characteristic of Augustan provincial coinage. The effigy displays the emperor's idealized features with short hair swept forward across the brow. A faint circular legend frames the portrait within the field. The die work is consistent with Hispanian municipal mint production of the Julio-Claudian period. |

| Reverse description | Central legend OSCA arranged in two lines within the field, surrounded by the magistrates' names and titles disposed in a circular legend reading SPARSO ET CAECILIANO II VIR. The layout is typical of Hispanic municipal bronze coinage of the Augustan era, with the mint name prominently displayed as the focal point of the reverse design. The lettering is deeply cut and arranged concentrically around the mint name. |
