| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Barbarous imitations of Aurelian's antoniniani in gold are genuinely unusual — most Germanic copying of late Roman coinage was done in base metal, opportunistically, for local exchange. A gold piece at this weight suggests either a single-coin diplomatic gift or a prestige object produced by a smith with access to Roman bullion but only a worn prototype to copy from. The "quinarius" attribution is conventional rather than official; no Germanic authority was issuing denominated coinage in any Roman sense.
