| Aversbeschreibung | Bare or lightly draped bust of the Roman Emperor Claudius facing right, depicted in a provincial style characteristic of Chersonesan coinage. The portrait features short hair rendered with incuse strokes and a slightly forward-projecting jaw. Partial Greek legend appears in the field, with a dotted border encircling the entire design. The die work reflects the local engraving tradition of the northern Black Sea region, combining Roman imperial iconography with Hellenistic artistic conventions. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Standing figure of Nike (Victory) facing left, rendered in flowing robes, with wings spread behind her. Her raised right hand holds a wreath extended outward, while her left arm holds a palm branch. To the left of the figure, the Greek letters forming part of the city ethnic are partially visible in the field. The composition is enclosed within a dotted border and exhibits the compact, provincial engraving style typical of Chersonesan bronze issues of the mid-first century AD. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Chersonesus maintained a remarkably tenacious civic autonomy throughout the first century AD, continuing to strike its own bronze coinage even as Bosporan kings consolidated power across the northern Black Sea littoral. This issue, struck in the years immediately following Claudius's direct intervention — he restored Chersonesian freedoms against Bosporan encroachment around 49 AD — almost certainly reflects that renewed civic confidence. The city had appealed directly to Rome, and Rome answered.
The tight date range of 53–55 places this coin in the final years of Claudius's reign, possibly struck just before or around his death in October 54.
