| Obverse description | Helmeted and draped bust of Emperor Probus facing left, rendered in a barbarous style characteristic of Germanic imitative coinage. The effigy displays a plumed helmet and visible armor or drapery at the shoulder. A circular legend in debased Latin surrounds the bust in the field, with the inscription crudely executed in an imitative hand. The overall style reflects the work of a non-Roman die-cutter reproducing a Roman prototype from memory or a worn original. |
