| Obverse description | The obverse presents Emperor Tiberius in togate attire, laureate, seated left upon a curule chair with his feet resting on a footstool. He holds a patera in his extended right hand and a long sceptre in his left, conveying his priestly and imperial authority. The composition is rendered in the formal commemorative style typical of Tiberian issues. The surrounding legend CIVITATIBVS ASIAE RESTITVTIS encircles the seated figure, referencing imperial aid to the earthquake-stricken cities of Asia Minor. The overall treatment reflects the high-relief hammered technique characteristic of early Imperial Roman bronze coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the large senatorial monogram S C (Senatus Consulto), struck in bold relief at centre, affirming that this bronze coinage was issued by authority of the Roman Senate. The letters are rendered in a broad, open style occupying most of the field, a convention standard on Imperial sestertii and dupondii. Encircling the central device, the full imperial titulature of Tiberius runs continuously around the periphery of the coin in incuse Latin capitals. The plain, undecorated field gives prominence to the authorising monogram, consistent with the austere numismatic aesthetic of the Tiberian period. |
