| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of an emperor facing right, rendered in a provincial or barbarous style characteristic of Germanic imitative coinage. The effigy displays a simplified facial treatment with bold, schematic features typical of non-Roman craftsmen copying late imperial prototypes. The bust is surrounded by a blundered Latin legend composed of pseudo-epigraphic letter forms that approximate but do not faithfully reproduce a Roman imperial inscription. The overall composition closely imitates the obverse conventions of aurei struck during the reign of the Barracks Emperors of the late third to early fourth century. |
