| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Julian II facing right, rendered in a somewhat barbarous style characteristic of irregular provincial or imitative issues. The emperor's effigy displays his characteristic beard, with flowing hair partially visible beneath the diadem. The surrounding Latin legend reads D N FL CL IVLIANVS P F AVG, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The portrait, while clearly derived from official Roman prototypes, exhibits the cruder engraving typical of unofficial mint production. The coin's irregular flan edge further underscores its barbarous origin. |

| Obverse lettering | D N FL CL IVLIANVS P F AVG (Translation: Dominus Noster Flavius Claudius Iulianus Pius Felix Augustus. Our lord Flavius Claudius Julian, pious and blessed august.) |
| Reverse description | Central field bearing a four-line votive inscription — VOT / X / MVLT / XX — enclosed within a laurel wreath tied at the base, with a decorative element at the apex. The mint signature CONS appears in the exergue below the wreath, referencing Constantinople as the prototype mint. The wreath is rendered in a slightly irregular, barbarous manner consistent with the imitative nature of the issue. A faint outer border of dots or pellets encircles the design. The overall composition faithfully imitates the standard official Julian II siliqua reverse type. |
