| Obverse description | Bare head of Tiberius facing left, rendered in a naturalistic portrait style typical of early Julio-Claudian coinage. The effigy displays finely engraved facial features with short cropped hair, the neck truncation cleanly cut. The circular legend surrounds the portrait in the field, inscribed in crisp Latin capitals along the periphery. |
