| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Emperor Claudius facing left, rendered in the provincial portraiture style typical of Ionian civic coinage. A star appears in the field before the face. The legend ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΣ (Augustus) is placed around the effigy, serving as the imperial title rather than a personal name. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show the characteristic roughness of a hammered provincial bronze. |

| Reverse description | A hexastyle temple facade depicted in elevation, showing six columns supporting an entablature and pediment, likely representing a major sanctuary at Miletus, possibly the Temple of Apollo at Didyma or a local imperial cult temple. The architectural rendering is schematic but clearly legible, with the columns rising from a stepped podium. The civic ethnic legend ΜΙΛΗΣΙΩΝ (of the Milesians) is distributed around the temple in the field. The overall composition is characteristic of Milesian civic bronze coinage struck under Claudius. |
