The neck is slightly draped. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait reading C CAESAR AVG GERMANIC IMP P M TR P COS, giving the emperor's titles and powers. The lettering is deeply incuse and arranged close to the coin's raised rim. |

| Reverse description | Bare head of one of the duoviri quinquennales — likely Cn. Ateius Flaccus or Cn. Pompeius Flaccus — facing right, depicted in a similar provincial portrait style to the obverse. The surrounding circular Latin legend names both magistrates and their civic titles: CN ATEL FLAC CN POM FLAC II VIR QVINC SAL AVG, with the abbreviated titles SAL and AVG visible in the field flanking the portrait. The reverse demonstrates the characteristic local civic authority coinage practice of Hispania under the early Principate. |
