| Obverse description | Barbarian imitative bust of Marcus Aurelius facing right, rendered in a crude provincial style with stylized radiate or laureate hair indicated by deeply grooved lines fanning outward from the crown. The portrait is schematically executed, with simplified facial features characteristic of Gothic imitative coinage produced in the Taman region. A partially legible degenerate Latin legend surrounds the bust, imitating the titulature of the Roman imperial prototype but reduced to meaningless letter-like strokes. |
