| Obverse description | Crude barbarous imitation of a late Roman imperial bust facing right, depicted laureate and draped, rendered in a simplified, degenerate style characteristic of Germanic tribal imitations. The portrait, while echoing the official effigy of Constantine I, displays schematic facial features with minimal detail, a hallmark of unofficial provincial or barbarian workshop production. A garbled Latin legend surrounds the bust in the obverse field, imitating the imperial titulature of Constantine I but rendered as a meaningless sequence of letters by an illiterate die-cutter. |
