| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of the emperor Claudius facing right, rendered in the provincial Hellenistic tradition with coarse but expressive die-cutting. The legend ΚΛΑΥΔΙΟΣ ΚΑΙΣΑΡ is distributed around the portrait within the field, partially visible due to the irregular flan. The effigy displays the characteristic heavy neck and broad facial features associated with Claudian portraiture on eastern provincial bronzes. |

| Reverse description | Zeus standing left, semi-draped from the waist down, his outstretched right hand holding an eagle and his left hand resting on a long vertical sceptre or staff. The figure is rendered in the local provincial style typical of Phrygian civic coinage, reflecting the importance of the Zeus cult at Aezani, home to the celebrated Temple of Zeus. The ethnic legend ΑΙΖΑΝΙΤΩΝ is inscribed in the field around the deity. |
