An incredibly detailed rendition of the laureate head of Jupiter appears on the obverse, facing right, surrounded by a beaded border. Jupiter was regarded as the primary deity of the religion of the Roman state during the eras of the Republic and the Empire, until the conversion to Christianity led by Constantine the Great in A.D. 313.

The reverse illustrates winged Victory standing, facing right, as she places a wreath upon a trophy. As is traditional on coins of the Roman Republic, the inscription ROMA appears, in exergue.
