| Obverse description | Laureate draped bust of Emperor Claudius facing left, encircled by a Latin legend. An applied etched countermark appears in the left field, denoting the revaluation of the coin to 42 nummi by Ostrogothic authorities. The host coin's portrait retains the classical Roman imperial style of the mid-first century AD, though the surface shows considerable wear consistent with prolonged circulation and subsequent countermarking. |
