Beschrijving voorzijde Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Magnentius facing right, rendered in three-quarter front view. The effigy displays the emperor in military dress with paludamentum, the portrait exhibiting the bold, assertive style characteristic of mid-fourth-century imperial coinage. The encircling legend names him in his full imperial titulature. The die work reflects the accomplished craftsmanship of the Aquileia mint during the usurpation period.

Opschrift voorzijde IMP CAES MAG-NENTIVS AVG
(Translation: Supreme Commander and Caesar, Magnentius, emperor.)
Beschrijving keerzijde A dynamic equestrian composition depicts the nimbate Emperor Magnentius in full military attire, his cloak billowing behind him, mounted on a prancing stallion stepping to the right with head raised upward. With his outstretched right hand the emperor raises the personification of Republica, a turreted and draped female figure bowing to the left, her own cloak billowing behind, holding a cornucopia in her left hand along with the end of her cloak, with the opposing end of her cloak gathered in her right hand. The reverse legend proclaims Magnentius as liberator of the Republic, and the exergue carries the mintmark with officina designation. This ambitious, multi-figure reverse type is one of the most iconographically elaborate compositions of the Later Roman Empire.
