| Obverse description | Stylized bust facing right, depicted in a schematic, barbarian manner characteristic of early medieval Lombard-Tuscan coinage. The figure wears a helmet or diadem with hatched decoration, and the neck and shoulders are rendered in a simplified torso form divided into sections. The facial features are crudely but expressively rendered with a large eye, prominent nose, and dotted border surrounding the design. The surrounding legend is degenerate and largely illegible, reflecting the progressive corruption of imperial Roman prototypes in this period. |
