| Obverse description | Bare head of the young Tiberius (Claudius Nero) facing left, rendered in a slightly schematic provincial style. The portrait occupies the central field, with the neck truncation visible at the base. A circular Latin legend in large, well-spaced letters runs around the periphery within a beaded border, dedicating the issue to Claudius Nero on behalf of the free city of Hippo. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, typical of North African provincial bronze coinage of the Augustan period. |

| Reverse description | Bare head of Fabius Africanus (the local magistrate) facing left, portrayed in a summary provincial style consistent with the obverse treatment. The head is set centrally within the field, with the neck truncation at the lower edge. The surrounding Latin legend, disposed around the periphery within a beaded border, identifies the honoured individual. The surface shows the characteristic patina and wear of a circulated North African bronze of the late Republican to early Imperial transitional period. |
