| Obverse description | Draped and laureate bust of Emperor Claudius facing right, rendered in the Alexandrian provincial style. The emperor's features are depicted with a radiate wreath of laurel encircling the head, with drapery visible at the shoulder. The Greek legend ΤΙ ΚΛ ΚΑ ϹΕ ΑΥ (Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus) appears in the field, accompanied by the regnal year mark L Γ (Year 3), corresponding to 42–43 AD. |

| Reverse description | Draped bust of Sarapis facing right, the syncretic Greco-Egyptian deity depicted wearing the distinctive modius (kalathos) atop his head, a hallmark of his iconography in Alexandrian coinage. The beard and flowing hair are rendered with characteristic provincial detail. The field is largely plain, with the design occupying the central portion of the flan. The reverse type reflects the close association between the imperial cult and the Alexandrian religious tradition under Claudius. |
