| Obverse description | Bare head of the Emperor Tiberius facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Alexandrian civic coinage. The portrait displays the characteristic short hair and strong profile associated with Tiberian imperial portraiture. The fields are plain and devoid of legend, consistent with early Julio-Claudian provincial issues from Egypt. |
