| Obverse description | Bare-headed and laureate draped bust of the emperor Nero facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Pontic civic coinage. The effigy displays characteristic Neronian portraiture with short curled hair beneath the laurel wreath and a slightly fleshy facial profile. The surrounding Latin legend is disposed around the periphery of the flan, separated from the portrait field by a dotted border. The coin's irregular flan and bold relief are consistent with mid-first-century hammered civic bronzes of the Black Sea region. |

| Reverse description | Bare radiate head of Divus Claudius facing left, rendered in posthumous commemorative style befitting an imperial consecratio portrait. The radiate crown, a mark of divine status, distinguishes this effigy from a standard imperial portrait and underscores the deification of Claudius proclaimed under Nero. The surrounding Latin legend, reading in full TI CLAVD CAES AVG C I F AN CIII, records the titulature of Claudius along with the colonial formula of Sinope (Colonia Iulia Felix) and the regnal year CIII in Pontic era reckoning. A dotted border frames the design at the periphery of the flan. |
