| Reverse description | Within a circular wreath of laurel branches, the four-line Latin inscription LVGDVNVM BATARORVM appears in capital letters, arranged symmetrically across the central field. The wreath is tied at the base and forms a continuous border enclosing the legend. The lettering is bold and well-spaced, consistent with emergency siege coinage typography. |
