| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Emperor Tiberius facing right, rendered in low relief in the provincial style characteristic of Italian colonial mints of the early Julio-Claudian period. The laurel wreath is visible across the crown, with facial features including a prominent nose and chin discernible despite heavy patination and surface wear. The legend P S S C is distributed in the field, serving as the abbreviated civic and denominational inscription rather than a continuous peripheral legend. The flan is irregular and slightly ovoid, as typical of hammered colonial bronzes of this era. |
