| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Justin II facing right, rendered in the late antique Byzantine style typical of Lombard imitative coinage. The effigy displays a pearl diadem and layered drapery over the cuirass, with visible paludamentum. The surrounding legend reads D N IVSTI - NVS PP AVC, distributed across the obverse field in debased Latin capitals. The portrait, while derived from Byzantine prototypes, exhibits the characteristic stylization and reduced technical precision of Lombard workshop production. |

| Reverse description | A winged Victory stands facing, rendered frontally in a hieratic pose with wings spread, holding a long staff or cross in the right hand and a globus cruciger or wreath in the left. A star appears in the upper field to the right of the figure. The surrounding legend VICTORIA AVCVSTORVN is inscribed around the periphery, with the mint mark CONO in the exergue, referencing Constantinople as the prototype source. The design is a Lombard imitation of Byzantine tremissis reverse types, with characteristic schematic rendering of the figure. |
