Obverse description Bare head of Tiberius facing left, rendered in the provincial Roman style with strong, naturalistic features. The effigy occupies the central field, with the surrounding circular Latin legend reading TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVST IMP VIII, identifying the emperor as son of the deified Augustus and noting his eighth imperatorial acclamation. The lettering is raised and boldly spaced around the full circumference of the flan. The coin exhibits typical hammered fabric with a slightly irregular flan edge consistent with Hispano-Roman provincial issues of the Julio-Claudian period.

Reverse description The reverse displays the municipal name SEGOBRIGA in two lines across the central field, written in large, bold Latin capitals. The legend is encircled by a wreath of oak or laurel leaves tied at the base, a common decorative motif on Hispano-Roman provincial bronzes used to frame civic inscriptions. A small circular element, possibly a pellet or annulet, is visible at the top of the wreath. The overall composition is characteristic of the civic pride expressed by Roman colonial mints in Hispania Tarraconensis during the reign of Tiberius.
