| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Tiberius facing right, rendered in a somewhat provincial style characteristic of Hispanian municipal coinage. The portrait features a finely articulated laurel wreath and draped shoulder, with the imperial legend surrounding the effigy in Latin characters. The fields show typical surface patination consistent with bronze provincial issues of the Julio-Claudian period. |

| Reverse description | Inscription arranged in multiple lines across the field, naming the two local magistrates (duoviri) responsible for the issue — Hospis and Florus — along with the abbreviated mint name OSCA and the repeated mark V, likely denoting the denomination or a local civic symbol. The lettering is bold and fills the flan in a manner typical of Hispanian municipal bronzes, with no central figurative device. The arrangement reflects the epigraphic reverse style common to coinage struck at Osca under Roman provincial administration during the reign of Tiberius. |
