| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Emperor Claudius facing right, with characteristic portrait features including a broad neck and slightly forward-inclined posture typical of his provincial coinage. The Greek legend ΤΙ ΚΛΑΥΔΙΟΣ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΣ runs around the periphery of the flan. The die work reflects the provincial style of the Conventus of Adramyteum, with somewhat cursory but recognizable engraving consistent with mid-first century AD Asia Minor civic issues. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet, with the neck and upper shoulder rendered in profile. A beaded border frames the design around the periphery of the flan. The abbreviated civic ethnic legend ΑΣΣΙ appears in the field, referencing the city of Assos, whose patron deity Athena was a longstanding iconographic emblem on local coinage. The engraving is characteristic of provincial bronze issues from the Troad region under the Julio-Claudian period. |
