Rx: LIBERALITAS AVG around, S C in exergue, the emperor seated left on curule chair on platform, presiding at his first largesse; a togate figure stands behind him, Liberalitas holding out her coin counter stands before him, while at left a citizen climbs a ladder to the platform and holds out a fold of his toga to receive his gift.
