| Reverse description | Asclepius, the god of medicine, stands facing with his head turned to the left, his weight resting on the serpent-entwined staff (caduceus-staff) held in his left hand. The figure is rendered in a classicizing style with flowing robes, the serpent coiling prominently around the staff. The Greek civic legend of Neoclaudiopolis and the local era date ΡΙΕ (year 115, corresponding to 109-110 AD) are distributed around the periphery of the field. |

| Additional information |
The civic era date on this coin — year 115 by the local Pontic calendar — anchors it precisely to 109/110 AD, during Trajan's Dacian war period. Neoclaudiopolis, refounded under Claudius from the earlier Pontic settlement of Pompeioupolis, maintained its own autonomous dating system long after absorption into the Roman provincial structure, a practice that distinguishes its bronzes from the imperial mint output of the same years.
