| Obverse description | Bare head of Emperor Tiberius facing right, rendered in a naturalistic portrait style typical of early Imperial provincial coinage. The effigy displays the emperor's characteristic physiognomy with clearly defined facial features. The Latin magistrate legend encircles the portrait in the field, reading L RVTILIO PLANCO IIVIR, referencing the duovir responsible for the issue. The flan is irregular and the die work reflects provincial hammered technique. |

| Reverse description | Winged goddess Victoria standing facing left upon a globe, her wings spread, holding a wreath in her extended right hand and a long palm branch in her left. The figure is rendered in a classical style consistent with Roman provincial iconography of the Julio-Claudian period. The encircling Latin legend names the second duovir and the colony, reading A VATRONIO LABEONE IIVIR CO R, the abbreviation CO R standing for Colonia (Laus Iulia) Corinthiensis. |
