| Reverse description | Schematic reverse design featuring what appears to be a simplified cross or anchor-like symbol, flanked by rudimentary branch or leaf motifs, all executed in a barbarized, abstract manner. The design is heavily degenerate, likely a distant imitation of a late Roman reverse type. The flan is irregular with a worn, granular surface. No legible inscription is present. |

| Additional information |
Tiny cast or struck bronzes attributed to Germanic tribal groups of this period resist precise attribution almost by design — no centralized mint, no issuing authority in any Roman administrative sense, and considerable regional variation in fabric and module. Most reached scholars through grave assemblages or hoard contexts rather than controlled excavation, which compounds the difficulty.
