| Obverse description | Facing right, pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of the emperor, rendered in the crude provincial style characteristic of Lombard imitative coinage, with flowing tassels extending from the diadem. The effigy is encircled by a Latin legend reading D N MVTI - TB PP VI, a debased rendering of the imperial titulature of Maurice Tiberius. The overall workmanship reflects the degenerate imitative tradition of post-Roman barbarian tremisses struck in the name of the Byzantine emperor. |

| Reverse description | Winged Victory standing, rendered in a highly schematic and degenerate style typical of Lombard imitative issues, with a stylized stick-like body, dots substituting for facial features, and draped hair. A cross appears to the right of the figure. The surrounding legend is entirely nonsensical, consisting of debased and garbled letterforms derived from repeated copying of Byzantine prototypes, reflecting the progressive deterioration of the original model over successive generations of Lombard die-cutters. |
