Reverse description Standing figure facing left, holding an olive branch in the right hand and a transverse scepter in the left hand, executed in a barbarous imitative style. The figure's garments and proportions are rendered crudely, diverging significantly from the refined workmanship of official Roman imperial coinage. A garbled or pseudo-Latin legend surrounds the central device within a beaded border. The reverse type loosely imitates a Roman imperial reverse, likely derived from a Septimius Severus aureus prototype. The degenerate lettering and schematic figural style confirm a Germanic or provincial non-Roman workshop origin.
