| Obverse description | Crude laureate bust of Emperor Aurelian facing left, rendered in a barbarous imitative style characteristic of Germanic tribal coinage. The portrait, though stylistically degenerate, retains the essential iconographic elements of the Roman imperial prototype, including a wreath of laurel and simplified facial features. A blundered or corrupted Latin legend surrounds the bust in the field, reading IMP AVR, an abbreviated reference to Imperator Aurelianus. The overall execution reflects the work of a non-Roman die-cutter working from a circulating Roman model. |
