| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Tiberius facing left, rendered in the restrained Classical style characteristic of Julio-Claudian provincial coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic features with a wreath of laurel encircling the head. The surrounding field bears the Latin legend TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVSTVS disposed around the effigy. The flan is irregular and the surfaces heavily patinated, with the portrait detail substantially worn but the general outline of the bust remaining discernible. |

| Reverse description | Bare radiate head of the deified Augustus facing right, the radiating crown of solar spikes symbolising his divine status following his posthumous consecration. The effigy is rendered in the idealised manner befitting an imperial divus, consistent with the Augustan iconographic tradition perpetuated under Tiberius. The surrounding legend reads DIVVS AVGVSTVS PATER with the mint abbreviation C T T (Colonia Triumphalis Tarraco) completing the legend in the field or exergual area. Surface corrosion and heavy wear obscure fine detail, though the radiate crown and general portrait composition remain identifiable. |
