| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of a ruler facing right, rendered in a late antique style with schematic curling hair and simplified drapery folds at the shoulder. The portrait occupies the central field and is surrounded by a partial legend in debased Latin characters. The engraving reflects the provincial workshop tradition of the Vandal Carthage mint, with bold but relatively crude die-cutting characteristic of the period. |

| Reverse description | A plain Latin cross displayed prominently at the center of the field, with arms of equal length, set upon a stepped or simple base. Small decorative elements or pellets appear in the angles between the cross arms. The reverse is bordered by a beaded or dotted circle, and a partial debased Latin legend surrounds the design, consistent with Vandal coinage of the Carthage mint under the reign of Huneric (477–484). |
