| Obverse description | Bare head of Emperor Caligula (Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus) facing right, rendered in the Roman provincial portrait style typical of Augustan-era Hispanian municipal coinage. The effigy is depicted with short hair and a youthful, idealised visage. The surrounding Latin legend reads C CAESAR AVG GERMANICVS P P, identifying the emperor with his titles. The portrait occupies the central field with the legend distributed around the periphery. The coin shows characteristic green patination consistent with its bronze alloy and burial history. |

| Reverse description | Central design features a military standard (signum) flanked on either side by a round shield (clipeus) and a carnyx or military trophy element, arranged symmetrically in the field. This martial composition is typical of Roman colonial coinage from Hispania celebrating imperial military virtue. The legend C I G ACCI is distributed around the design, identifying the issuing colony as Colonia Iulia Gemella Acci (modern Guadix, Spain), with the duoviri initials L I II appearing in the field or exergue denoting the local magistrates responsible for the issue. The reverse exhibits flat relief and considerable patination. |
