The sculpture on the coin is a profile portrait of a bearded man facing right. The coin has a metallic silvery sheen. The man's facial features, hair, and beard are rendered in detailed, raised relief. Around the outer edge of the coin, there are inscriptions in Latin. The craftsmanship is intricate, with significant attention to detail in the depiction of the human figure against the polished, reflective surface of the metal.
