| Obverse lettering | C I BVT (Translation: the Julian colony of Buthrotum) |
| Reverse description | Two upright symbols placed side by side in the central field: on the left, a club (the attribute of Hercules), and on the right, the serpent-entwined staff of Aesculapius (caduceus-like rod with a serpent coiling around it and a pinecone finial at top). The surrounding Latin legend, arranged around the periphery, identifies the issuing magistrate. The reverse design reflects the Greco-Roman religious traditions of the colony, combining Herculean and medical iconography in a compact provincial composition. |
