| Reverse description | A bull standing left in full profile occupies the central field, rendered with sturdy, compact proportions characteristic of Iberian provincial coinage. The municipal name CLVNIA appears in the upper field above the bull's back. The surrounding circular legend, distributed around the entire periphery, records the names of the four magistrates (IIIIviri) responsible for the issue. A double exergual line separates the lower legend from the bull's hooves. The overall style is robust and provincial, consistent with other municipal bronzes of Tiberius's reign in Hispania. |

| Additional information |
Clunia, a municipium in the upper Duero valley, was one of the handful of Hispanic cities still operating a local mint into the Tiberian period — most had ceased by then. The four magistrates named in the legend (the IVIIIviri) represent the city's own administrative apparatus asserting itself on coinage at a moment when such local initiative was increasingly tolerated rather than encouraged by Rome. Issues from Clunia under Tiberius are notably scarce compared to Augustan-era production from the same mint.
