| Obverse description | The obverse features a large civic oak wreath (corona civica) occupying the central field, rendered in high relief with naturalistic foliage. Within the wreath, the abbreviated honorific legend OB CIVIS SERVATOS is inscribed in two lines, referencing the corona civica awarded to Augustus by the Senate for saving Roman citizens. The inscription CIVIB SERVAT appears across the center of the wreath in bold Latin capitals. The composition is entirely epigraphic and heraldic, with no portraiture, reflecting the early Augustan numismatic convention of symbolism over imperial effigy on bronze denominations. |
