| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of a Roman emperor effigy facing right, rendered in a barbarian imitative style with crude but recognizable portraiture. The bust is encircled by a degenerate legend composed of garbled Latin letterforms, reflecting the non-literate copyist's approximation of an imperial prototype. The portrait retains general stylistic features associated with Marcus Aurelius or Septimius Severus, including a bearded profile. The overall execution is characteristic of Germanic barbarous imitations, with irregular flan shape and shallow, imprecise die engraving. |
