| Obverse description | Laureate head of the deified Emperor Claudius facing right, rendered in the realistic portrait style characteristic of Julio-Claudian coinage. The effigy displays clearly defined facial features with a wreath of laurel leaves encircling the head. A fillet or ribbon tie is visible at the nape of the neck. The portrait occupies the full height of the field, set close to the coin's edge, with the encircling legend running along the periphery. This is a restruck type issued under Titus, reproducing the original Claudian obverse die types as part of a systematic restoration coinage. |
