| Obverse description | Bare head of the emperor Tiberius facing right, depicted in an unadorned, naturalistic portrait typical of early Julio-Claudian provincial coinage. The legend encircles the effigy in Latin capitals, reading TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVG, identifying Tiberius as son of the deified Augustus. The portrait displays characteristic features of Tiberian iconography, with a strong jawline and close-cropped hair rendered in low relief. The flan is slightly irregular, as is common for municipally struck Hispanian bronzes of this period. |

| Reverse description | A galley depicted in profile sailing to the right, rendered with a raised prow, oars, and hull details characteristic of Roman provincial naval iconography. The abbreviation SAG appears prominently above the vessel in the field, serving as the mint signature for Saguntum. The duoviri magistrates' names are inscribed in the surrounding legend: L SEMP GEMINO and L VAL SVRA, followed by the designation II VIR denoting their office as the two local magistrates responsible for the coin's issue. The overall composition is typical of the civic bronze coinage struck at Saguntum under Tiberius, reflecting the municipium's strong maritime tradition. |
