| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Maximian facing left, rendered in a somewhat barbaric style characteristic of Germanic imitations. The emperor's effigy displays a laurel wreath and a simplified draped treatment of the shoulder. A retrograde or irregular Latin legend encircles the bust in the field, reading MAXIMIANVS AVGVSTVS. The portrait, while clearly derived from official Roman prototypes, exhibits the cruder engraving typical of barbarian struck imitations. |
