| Obverse description | Bare-necked, laureate bust of Emperor Claudius facing right, rendered in high relief with finely engraved hair and a laurel wreath secured at the brow. The portrait displays the characteristic realism of Julio-Claudian die-cutting, with a slightly fleshy neck and individualized facial features. The surrounding legend is incuse in Latin capitals, distributed along the beaded border, reading TI CLAVD CAESAR AVG P M TR P VIIII IMP XVI. The field is plain, directing full attention to the imperial effigy, which conveys both authority and the official dynastic imagery of the early Principate. |
