| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the large senatorial mark of value S·C (Senatus Consultum) in bold, widely-spaced capital letters dominating the central field, a hallmark of Augustan aes coinage struck under senatorial authority. Surrounding the S·C, a circular legend names the moneyer Titus Quinctius Crispinus Sulpicianus in his capacity as one of the tresviri monetales, the board of three magistrates responsible for the casting and striking of gold, silver, and bronze coinage. The legend runs continuously around the periphery within a plain border. The engraving is crisp and deeply struck, consistent with the high standard of Augustan official mint production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The moneyers named on this issue — T. Quinctius Crispinus Sulpicianus among them — held office under the revived tresviri monetales, a Republican magistracy Augustus deliberately reactivated as part of his broader program of restoring traditional institutions while consolidating personal control. The appointment of these junior magistrates was largely ceremonial by 18 BC; real monetary policy had long since shifted to the emperor's household. The gesture cost Augustus nothing and bought considerable goodwill from the senatorial class.
The S·C on the reverse reflects the Senate's nominal authority over the bronze coinage, a constitutional fiction Augustus maintained throughout his reign.
