| Obverse description | Bare head of Emperor Tiberius facing left, depicted in a restrained classical style typical of early Imperial provincial coinage. The portrait shows the emperor without laurel wreath or diadem, with finely rendered facial features. The Greek legend TIBEΡIOΣ KAIΣAΡ runs around the field, identifying the emperor as Caesar Tiberius. |
