| Obverse description | Two togate figures of Drusus and Germanicus seated left on curule chairs, one extending a lituus; the figures are rendered in the official imperial style typical of early Julio-Claudian provincial coinage. The circumferential Greek legend identifies the pair as Caesars, new Gods, and Philadelphoi. The composition reflects the dynastic propaganda promoted by Tiberius in the eastern provinces. |

| Reverse description | A civic laurel wreath encircling a two-line inscription in the central field, reading ΚΟΙΝΟΥ ΑΣΙΑΣ; the wreath is rendered with carefully detailed leaves and a tied binding at the base, consistent with the honorific reverse types issued by the Koinon of Asia. The surrounding exergual area bears the dedicatory legend naming the proconsul Gaius Asinius Pollio. The overall design is characteristic of Greek imperial civic issues struck under the authority of the Asian league. |
