| Obverse description | Jugate busts of two emperors facing right, imitating Marcus Aurelius and Commodus, rendered in a barbarous style characteristic of Germanic imitative coinage. The busts are draped and cuirassed, depicted in close proximity with the foremost bust slightly overlapping the other. A beaded border surrounds the design. The partial legend IMP M ANTONIN runs around the periphery in crude Latin lettering, copying imperial Roman titulature. A suspension hole is pierced at the top of the flan, indicating the piece was worn as personal adornment or a prestige object. |
