| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Claudius facing left, rendered in the provincial Greek style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage. Two ears of grain are depicted before the portrait, a symbol of imperial beneficence and agricultural prosperity. The circular legend surrounds the effigy, reading ΤΙ ΚΛΑΥΔΙΟΣ ΚΑΙΣΑΡ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΣ ΓΕΡΜΑΝΙΚΟΣ in Greek characters. The portrait displays the characteristic heavy features associated with Claudian portraiture, with the laurel wreath rendered in low relief. The overall execution reflects the hand of a provincial die-cutter working within the tradition of Greek Imperial coinage. |
