| Obverse description | Bare-headed and laureate bust of Emperor Tiberius facing left, rendered in the restrained classical style characteristic of Julio-Claudian imperial portraiture. The effigy displays the emperor's mature features with a wreath of laurel leaves clearly articulated around the head. The encircling legend is arranged around the periphery of the flan, reading from the left. The portrait is set within an irregularly shaped flan typical of hammered bronze coinage of the early imperial period. |

TRIBUNICIA POTESTATE XXXIIX places this issue in the final year of Tiberius's reign — 36 into 37 AD — just months before his death at Misenum in March 37. By this point the emperor had been withdrawn to Capri for nearly a decade, leaving Sejanus's former machinery of state still grinding awkwardly forward under senatorial anxiety. The Rome mint continued producing aes coinage largely on administrative momentum rather than any direct imperial directive.
RIC I 64 is among the later tribunician-dated asses of the reign, with surviving examples frequently showing uneven flan preparation characteristic of this period's bronze output.
