| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gunthamund facing right, set within a surrounding Latin legend. The portrait follows late Roman imperial conventions, with the diadem rendered as a row of pearls and the cuirass indicating the ruler's military authority. The effigy is executed in the somewhat schematic style characteristic of Vandal silver coinage of the late fifth century. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the value mark 'D·N' — an abbreviation for the denomination in denarii — appears in two large letters separated by a central dot, with a horizontal bar above surmounting the letters. The entire central device is enclosed by a prominent wreath of laurel branches rendered in schematic style, filling the full width of the flan. A plain horizontal line divides the legend from the lower field. The composition is bold and graphic, typical of the Vandal monetary tradition adapted from late Roman provincial coinage. |
