| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Emperor Claudius facing right, rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style characteristic of early Imperial Egyptian coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic broad facial features with a laurel wreath crown visible across the top of the head. A partial abbreviated Greek legend appears in the field to the left of the bust. The flan is irregular, and the strike is somewhat off-centre, as is typical of this small denomination. |
