| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, depicted in a naturalistic provincial style within a dotted border. The portrait, generally identified as Augustus or Agrippa, displays coarse, somewhat stylized facial features and a prominent ear, characteristic of the local Gaditanian engraving tradition. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, with the design occupying the central field. No surrounding legend is visible on this face. The overall execution reflects the provincial workshop at Gades rather than the refined standards of the Roman imperial mint. |
