| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of the Emperor Claudius facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek tradition with somewhat coarse, bold relief typical of Lydian civic coinage. The imperial effigy is encircled by a Greek legend reading Τ ΚΛΑΥΔΙΟϹ ΓΕΡΜΑΝΙΚΟϹ ΚΑΙϹΑΡ, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The portrait exhibits characteristic features of Julio-Claudian iconography adapted to local die-cutting conventions, with the laurel wreath clearly articulated around the head. |
