| Reverse description | Bare laureate head of Tiberius facing left, depicted in a similar provincial style to the obverse effigy, with the neck truncation visible at the base. The Latin legend TI CAESAR AVG F, identifying Tiberius as the son of the deified Augustus (Augusti Filius), is distributed around the periphery of the flan. The coin's irregular edge and worn surfaces are consistent with a hammered provincial issue of the early Imperial period. |

| Additional information |
Caesaraugusta — modern Zaragoza — was a veteran colony founded by Augustus around 14 BC, its very name a compressed tribute to the emperor. The city held the right to strike local bronze, and this issue falls in the final years of Augustus's reign, when Tiberius had already been designated successor and his name began appearing prominently on provincial coinage as a deliberate exercise in dynastic projection. RPC I 325 is among the more modestly produced issues from this mint, struck for purely local transactional use in the Ebro valley.
