| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Thrasamund facing right, rendered in late antique style with abbreviated regnal legend encircling the effigy. The portrait displays the characteristic stylization of Vandal royal coinage, imitating late Roman imperial prototypes in both iconography and epigraphy. |
