| Obverse description | Stylized radiate motif occupying the central field, rendered in a highly abstracted barbaric manner characteristic of Gothic imitative coinage. The design features bold, fan-like radiating lines spreading from a central point, flanked by a cluster of pellets to the right, possibly representing a bunch of grapes or a schematic bust. The overall execution is crude and irregular, reflecting the provincial workshop tradition of the Taman Peninsula region. No legible legend is present, consistent with the barbarian imitative series of this period. |

| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a prominent Chi-Rho-like monogram or schematized symbol, comprising bold intersecting strokes arranged in a cruciform pattern with additional angular elements. A pellet border or wreath-like surround frames the design, with individual pellets visible in the lower portions of the field. The lettering or pseudo-legend, if present, is highly debased and largely illegible, typical of late Gothic barbarous imitative denarii. The workmanship is rough and irregular, consistent with hammered production in a peripheral workshop during the late third to early fourth century. |
