| Obverse description | Bare head of Tiberius (as Caesar), facing right, rendered in a slightly idealized portrait style typical of early Imperial provincial coinage. The facial features are modeled with moderate relief, showing a youthful to middle-aged male profile. A Greek legend surrounds the effigy, reading ΤΙΒΕΡΙΣ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΗΩ, identifying the subject as Tiberius in his Augustan capacity. The overall style reflects local Thessalian die-cutting workmanship of the Julio-Claudian period. |

| Reverse description | Draped bust facing right, possibly representing a deity, personification, or local dignitary, rendered in moderate relief consistent with provincial hammered coinage of the early Imperial period. The identity of the bust remains uncertain, though the style suggests an idealized or divine portraiture convention common to Thessalian civic issues. A Greek legend surrounding the bust attributes the issue to Megalokles, a local magistrate of the Thessalian Koinon. The die work is characteristic of Greek provincial production under Augustan-era Roman oversight. |
