| Obverse description | Draped bust of Diva Faustina Senior facing right, with hair elaborately dressed and coiled at the nape, rendered in a barbarous imitative style. A crude beaded border surrounds the design. The legend, partially legible and barbarously rendered, encircles the effigy in imitation of the original Roman prototype. |

| Reverse description | Draped female figure, likely Aeternitas or Pietas, standing left with right arm extended drawing out her robe, rendered in a simplified and barbarous style characteristic of Germanic imitative coinage. A crude beaded border frames the design, and a degraded legend surrounds the central motif, imitating the inscriptions of the Roman original. |
