| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Claudius facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of the Conventus of Sardis. The portrait displays the characteristic features of Claudius with a laurel wreath crowning the head. The circular legend surrounds the bust, naming the Aezanitians as the issuing authority honouring the emperor. The field is plain, and the coin's irregular flan is characteristic of Anatolian provincial bronze coinage of the Julio-Claudian period. |

| Reverse description | Zeus standing left in full figure, holding a long sceptre in his left hand and an eagle perched on his outstretched right hand. The deity is depicted in the traditional Anatolian Zeus type closely associated with the sanctuary at Aezani, reflecting the city's renowned cult of Zeus. The circular legend in the field names the local magistrate responsible for the issue. The composition and iconography are consistent with provincial bronze coinage struck under Claudius in the Sardis conventus. |
