| Reverse description | Crude barbarian imitation of a Roman imperial reverse type, featuring a schematically rendered standing figure, likely imitating a deity or emperor in a pose derived from official Marcus Aurelius denarius reverses. The design is executed in a highly degenerate style with roughly incuse or weakly struck elements typical of Gothic imitative issues from the Taman peninsula. A debased and partially legible Latin legend borders the scene, composed of repeated letter-like strokes derived from the Roman prototype but largely stripped of meaning. |
