Obverse description Bare laureate head of Emperor Claudius facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Phrygian civic coinage of the mid-first century AD. The portrait displays the characteristic features of Claudius, with a thick laurel wreath crowning the head. The encircling Greek legend appears in the field surrounding the imperial effigy. The flan is irregular, consistent with hand-struck provincial bronzes of the period.

Reverse description Apollo standing facing right, holding a kithara (lyre) and playing it with both hands, depicted in the conventional Hellenistic divine image. The figure is draped and rendered in the local Phrygian civic tradition. The magistrate's name and ethnic legend are distributed in the field to either side of the deity, identifying both the issuing authority and the city of Hierapolis.
