| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed imperial bust facing right, rendered in the late antique Byzantine manner. The effigy is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a Latin legend encircling the design in the outer field. The portraiture reflects the Lombard imitation of Byzantine coinage prototypes, with schematic facial features characteristic of the period. The legend reads MARINVS MON / MARINVS, referencing the moneyer responsible for the issue. |

| Reverse description | A stylized Winged Victory standing, rendered in the degenerate late antique tradition characteristic of early Lombard gold coinage. The figure is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a Latin legend surrounding the design in the outer field. The execution is notably schematic, reflecting the Lombard workshop's distance from classical Byzantine models. The legend, DNATNAIVIVTORIII / IONOI, represents a corrupt rendering of the Byzantine Victory type formula. |
