Bare head right; c/m: star with six rays within round incuse / Ithyphallic herm (Hermes Imbrianus) standing right on short base; – in left field (mark of value?); Γ (or monogram) to lower right.

The island of Imbrus struck a small run of provincial coins during the reign of Augustus but then stopped, not striking again until a series without imperial portraits began in the late second to early third century AD, probably spanning the early Antonine and Severan eras.
