| Obverse description | Central field features an oak wreath (corona civica), the civic crown awarded to Augustus for saving Roman citizens, flanked symmetrically by two laurel branches curving upward from the lower field to frame the wreath. The inscription OB CIVIS SERVATOS ('for saving the citizens') appears in the legend surrounding the design, referencing the senatorial honour bestowed upon Augustus in 27 BC. The composition is entirely typological, devoid of portraiture, emphasising the honorific and constitutional character of the issue. |
