| Obverse description | Crudely rendered barbarian imitation of an imperial bust facing right, depicted as pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed, characteristic of the debased style typical of unofficial FEL TEMP REPARATIO copies. The portrait is schematic and poorly articulated, with the diadem and cuirass only vaguely suggested by the die-cutter. A fragmentary and garbled legend surrounds the effigy, imitating the official Constantius II obverse inscription. The flan is small and irregular, consistent with barbarous production. |

| Reverse description | Barbarous imitation of the standard FEL TEMP REPARATIO fallen horseman reverse type, depicting a helmeted Roman soldier advancing to the left and spearing a fallen enemy horseman collapsed beneath him to the lower left. The composition is crudely executed, with the figures rendered in a simplified, degenerate style characteristic of unofficial workshop copies. The surrounding legend is garbled and largely illegible, reduced to a meaningless series of letters imitating the original mint inscription. No recognizable mint mark or exergue inscription is present. |
