Obverse description Bare head of Tiberius facing left, depicted in the Roman imperial portrait tradition with naturalistic features and a plain, unadorned bust. A circular beaded border frames the design. The legend TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVSTVS runs around the periphery, identifying the emperor as son of the deified Augustus. The portrait style is consistent with provincial Spanish coinage of the Julio-Claudian period, showing competent but somewhat rustic engraving typical of municipal mints.

Reverse description Two aquilae (legionary eagle standards) facing each other, each mounted on a decorated base, flanking a central signum or military standard. The arrangement symbolizes the two legions — Legio I and Legio II — that participated in the founding of the colony of Acci. The legend C · I · G · L I II ACCI is distributed around and between the standards, referencing the Colonia Iulia Gemella of Acci and its legionary origins. A beaded border encircles the entire reverse design.
