| Reverse description | The personification of Salus, draped and seated left upon a high-backed chair or throne, holding a patera in her extended right hand and a long sceptre in her left. The figure is rendered in a classical style consistent with Julio-Claudian and early Flavian artistic conventions. The legend SALVS AVGVSTA appears in the field, with the senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanking the central design in the lower exergual area, affirming the Senate's sanction for the issue. |
