| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of a figure imitating Elagabalus facing left, with a torque depicted below the bust. The effigy is rendered in a barbarous style characteristic of Germanic imitative coinage. A circular pseudo-legend surrounds the bust, composed of degenerate Latin lettering. A suspension hole is pierced at the top of the flan, indicating use as a pendant or personal ornament. |
