Description

Front: Kopf des Augustus nach r. Am Hals eine Punze, unten ein Graffito.
Rear: Stadtmauer mit zweibogigem Tor, darüber die Aufschrift: EMERITA.
Graffito: Lettering or similar mark incised into the surface of a coin that had meaning in the contemporary context of the coin.
Punched: Intentionally marked with a punch, both contemporary to the object and later. In contrast to a countermark of a much more simple design. Not to be confused with punches creating a positive image, which were used during the manufacture of a die.
