Yes indeed. It was issued after he died, during the reign of emperor Tiberius, but it is indeed a depiction of Augustus, the first emperor. On the reverse is a "large altar" or "altar enclosure" (numismatists argue about exactly what it's supposed to be). Here's an example in better condition on Wildwinds.
