| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of a Roman emperor facing right, rendered in a barbarous imitative style with broad, somewhat schematic facial features. The effigy is encircled by a retrograde or garbled Latin legend composed of debased letter-forms imitating official Roman imperial coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with Germanic tribal manufacture. A suspension hole is pierced near the top of the coin, indicating use as a personal ornament or pendant rather than as circulating currency. |
