| Obverse description | Laureate head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the idealized Julio-Claudian portrait style typical of provincial Aegean bronze coinage. The effigy displays the characteristic laurel wreath of the emperor's divine-civic status. The surrounding Greek legend reads ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΣ ΑΝΤΙΟΧΕΩΝ, identifying the emperor and the issuing city of Antioch. The flan is irregular and the surfaces bear a heavy green patina consistent with prolonged burial, partially obscuring fine die detail. |

| Reverse description | Bare head of Gaius Caesar, grandson and designated heir of Augustus, facing right, portrayed as a youthful prince in the manner common to Augustan-era provincial issues honoring members of the imperial family. The portrait is rendered without diadem or wreath, emphasizing his status as princeps iuventutis rather than emperor. The single-word legend ΓΑΙΟΣ appears in the field, identifying the subject. The flan exhibits characteristic irregular edges and a dark olive-green patina with areas of earthen deposits. |
