| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Justin II facing right, rendered in the late antique Byzantine provincial style characteristic of Lombard imitative coinage. The effigy is positioned at center, surrounded by a Latin legend in degraded lettering running along the periphery of the flan. The portrait retains the stylized conventions of imperial Byzantine numismatic portraiture, though with the simplified execution typical of barbarian imitations. |

| Reverse description | Winged Victory standing facing right, depicted without the star typically found to the right of the figure, a distinguishing feature of this Lombard tremissis variant. The Victory figure holds the customary attributes associated with the imperial personification and is rendered in a stylized, flat manner consistent with barbarian imitative coinage of the late 6th to late 7th century. A degraded Latin legend encircles the design in the peripheral field, referencing the Augustan victory formula and Constantinople. |
