Obverse description Bare head of Emperor Claudius facing right, rendered in a provincial style with cursory but recognizable portraiture. The effigy displays short, roughly textured hair and a truncated neck, characteristic of Ebusitan civic coinage. The surrounding field is largely plain, with legends poorly preserved or absent on this specimen due to the irregular flan and heavy patination.

Reverse description A bull advancing to the right, depicted in a sturdy, stylized provincial manner with all four legs visible and the head slightly lowered. The animal's musculature is summarily rendered, consistent with the local engraving tradition of Ebusus. The field surrounding the bull is plain, with no visible exergual line, and the flan surface shows heavy corrosion obscuring any subsidiary details or legend.
