| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bust of a late Roman emperor facing right, depicted in a debased barbaric style derived from late Roman imperial prototypes. The effigy displays a diademed and draped bust with a broad, rounded facial rendering characteristic of Germanic imitative coinage. A pseudo-legend in degenerate Latin characters encircles the bust, rendered as garbled imitation of Roman imperial titulature. The overall style reflects the hand of a Germanic die-cutter working from Roman tremissis models of the 5th–7th centuries. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tremisses struck by Germanic successor authorities in the post-Roman west are among the most difficult coins to attribute with confidence — many were produced by tribes imitating late Roman and Byzantine gold without consistent mint signatures or issuing legends. The "short head" designation is a modern typological grouping, not a contemporary one, reflecting attempts by scholars to organize a chaotic output that spans Visigoths, Burgundians, Franks, and lesser-identified groups across two centuries of political fragmentation.
The MEC I 373 comparison suggests a Frankish or related Merovingian connection, but the Arslan gap keeps firm attribution out of reach.
