| Obverse description | Facing right, pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of the Byzantine emperor Heraclius in a barbarized rendering, with a stippled torso characteristic of Lombard imitative coinage. The effigy is encircled by a partially legible Latin legend derived from the imperial titulature. The portrait retains the general stylistic conventions of Byzantine prototype tremisses, though executed with the reduced precision typical of Lombard workshop production. |

| Reverse description | Winged Victory standing, rendered in a debased, schematic style characteristic of Lombard imitative coinage, holding a long staff or scepter and depicted with a dotted face and helmet-like hair. A cross appears to the right of the figure. The entire design is encircled by a degenerate, nonsensical pseudo-legend composed of meaningless letter forms, reflecting the progressive corruption of the Byzantine prototype legend in local Lombard workshop production. |
