| Obverse description | Laureate head of Tiberius facing right, rendered with fine detail characteristic of early Imperial portraiture, the laurel wreath bound with a fillet visible above the brow. The neck is bare, and the portrait projects with a strong sculptural relief typical of Julio-Claudian coinage. The encircling Latin legend runs along the periphery within a beaded border, identifying the emperor by name and dynastic title. The flan is slightly irregular in shape, consistent with hand-struck hammered gold coinage of the period. |

| Obverse lettering | TI DIVI F AVGVSTVS (Translation: Tiberius Divi Filius Augustus. Tiberius Caesar, son of the divine, emperor (Augustus).) |
| Reverse description | The personification of Victoria, draped and winged, is depicted seated to the right atop a globe, symbolising Roman dominion over the world. She holds a laurel wreath extended forward with both hands, her left wing prominently raised and visible behind her figure. The composition conveys the theme of perpetual Roman victory and imperial legitimacy. The circumferential Latin legend records Tiberius's thirty-third holding of tribunician power, providing a precise date for the issue. The reverse field is plain, with no exergual marking. |
