| Beschrijving voorzijde | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Anthemius facing right, with a dot in the field behind the head. The imperial effigy is rendered in the late Roman tradition, with finely detailed armour and drapery visible at the shoulder. The bust is circumscribed by the Latin imperial titulature legend. The overall execution reflects barbarian imitative workmanship, reproducing the general composition of contemporary Western Roman solidus types. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Anthemius, the last western emperor to hold meaningful power before the final collapse in 476, was elevated by the eastern court in Constantinople and murdered by Ricimer — his own father-in-law — in 474. Germanic groups continued striking solidi in his name well after his death, a practice rooted in commercial necessity: Roman gold coinage was the trusted currency of Mediterranean trade, and a recognizable imperial name carried weight that a tribal one did not. The issuing authority here is genuinely uncertain, with Visigoths, Burgundians, and others all producing imitative solidi in this period.
