| Obverse description | A dromedary camel strides to the right in low relief, rendered with careful attention to the animal's distinctive humped profile and elongated legs. The type is encircled by a laureate wreath composed of bound laurel branches, the wreath filling the entire field and serving as the sole framing device. No legend or inscription accompanies the obverse type. The flan is notably irregular in outline, consistent with hand-struck provincial coinage, and the strike exhibits the uneven pressure typical of Cyrenaican Julio-Claudian bronze issues. |

| Reverse description | Confronted bare-headed portraits of Tiberius, at left, and Germanicus, at right, each rendered in profile and turned inward to face the other, forming a dynastic jugate or vis-à-vis composition emphasizing imperial succession and family prestige. The busts are set within the field without additional ornamentation. The Greek legend ΤΙΒ ΓΕΡ ΚΑΙΣΑΡΕΣ, meaning 'Tiberius (and) Germanicus Caesars', is distributed around the periphery. The workmanship is consistent with the output of a Cyrenaican provincial mint under the early Julio-Claudian administration, displaying shallow relief and somewhat irregular die alignment. |
