| 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. |

| Reverse description | An eagle standing to the right in the typical Alexandrian numismatic tradition, its head turned and wings partially spread, rendered in low relief with visible talons and tail feathers. The regnal date legend occupies the field to the left of the eagle. The overall design is consistent with the Julio-Claudian Alexandrian series, where the eagle serves as an emblem of imperial authority and divine association. |
