| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted and cuirassed bust of Constantine I facing left, rendered in a barbarous imitative style characteristic of Germanic tribal coinage. The effigy is encircled by a degenerate, nonsensical legend derived from an imperial prototype, with individual letterforms distorted beyond legible Latin. The overall execution reflects the hand of a non-Roman die-cutter working from a Siscia mint prototype, resulting in simplified facial features and stylised armour detail. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
These imitative bronzes — struck by Germanic groups operating beyond the Rhine-Danube frontier — were produced in quantity during the fourth and fifth centuries as Roman coinage penetrated barbarian economies through trade, tribute, and military payment. The specific podium bust type is relatively uncommon among the broader mass of Constantinian imitations, suggesting either a more localized copying tradition or a narrower window of production. Attribution remains genuinely difficult; Göbl's typology provides the closest framework but was never intended to be exhaustive for this material.
