| Reverse description | Bare bust of Caligula (Gaius Caesar) facing left, rendered in a provincial style consistent with other Carthago Nova issues of the late Tiberian period. The portrait exhibits the angular features characteristic of early Julio-Claudian portraiture on Hispanic provincial bronzes. The surrounding Latin legend reads C CAESAR TI N QVINQ, identifying Gaius Caesar as grandson of Tiberius and quinquennalis of the colony. The overall composition reflects the dual dynastic promotion characteristic of transitional imperial coinage struck in anticipation of the succession. |
