| Obverse description | Plain field bearing a large eight-pointed star or wheel motif formed by eight radiating lines emanating from a central pellet, with a small pellet placed between each pair of spokes near the periphery. The design is entirely anonymous, devoid of any legend or inscription. The coin's irregular flan and hammered fabric are characteristic of late Roman silver fractions. The composition and sparse iconography are consistent with anonymous siliqua issues of the Constantinian period. |

| Reverse description | A wreath occupying the full field, rendered in the Roman laurel or olive-branch style with detailed leaf impressions along both sides of a central stem. Within the wreath a small, indistinct central device is visible, possibly a pellet or vestigial monogram, though heavily worn. No legend or inscription surrounds or appears within the design. The absence of an imperial portrait or titulature is consistent with anonymous fractional silver coinage of the mid-fourth century AD. The hammered flan shows the characteristic irregular edges typical of contemporary mint production. |
