| Obverse description | Bare head of Emperor Tiberius facing left, rendered in the restrained classical style characteristic of Julio-Claudian provincial coinage. The portrait displays short, capless hair with close-cropped locks swept forward over the brow, and a strong jawline typical of imperial effigies of this period. The legend encircles the portrait along the outer border, reading TI CAE DIVI AVG F AVG IMP VII, identifying the emperor as son of the deified Augustus and acclaiming his seventh imperatorial salutation. A beaded border frames the entire obverse field. |

| Reverse description | A seated female figure, identified as Livia in the guise of a goddess, is depicted in right profile upon a high-backed chair or throne, veiled and draped in long robes. She extends her right arm forward, holding a patera in offering, while her left hand grasps a long vertical sceptre. The composition echoes the seated Pax or Iustitia type common on Tiberian coinage, reflecting the ideological association of Livia with divine virtues. The encircling legend M MVN IVL VTICEN D D P P attributes the issue to the Julian municipality of Utica by decree of the decurions from public funds. A beaded border runs along the coin's outer edge. |
