| Obverse description | Bare-headed male bust facing left, rendered in a provincial barbarian imitative style with bold, somewhat crude workmanship characteristic of Germanic workshop production. The effigy displays a simplified profile with the neck truncated at the lower field. A garbled Latin legend, imitating imperial Roman coin inscriptions, surrounds the bust and occupies the upper and lower periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | A bear standing upright to the left, presenting a basket to a figure seated and facing right; the seated figure leans on his right hand upon the ground and extends his left hand toward the bear, all within a surrounding garbled Latin legend. The scene is rendered in a naive, provincial style typical of Germanic imitative coinage, with simplified forms and irregular die workmanship occupying the entire reverse field. |
