Beschrijving voorzijde Helmeted bust of the personification of Constantinopolis facing left, depicted in a stylized barbarian imitative rendering. The effigy is encircled by a retrograde or partially degraded Latin legend reading CONSTAN-TINOPOLIS, characteristic of Germanic tribal workshop production copying official Constantinian prototypes. The workmanship is notably crude relative to official imperial issues, reflecting the hand of non-Roman die-cutters unfamiliar with classical artistic conventions. The helmet and facial features are summarily rendered, with flat, irregular relief typical of barbarous imitations of this period.

Beschrijving keerzijde Winged Victory standing left, holding a long spear or sceptre in the left hand and resting her right hand on a grounded shield, imitating the standard reverse type of the official Constantinopolis commemorative follis issued from 330 AD onwards. The figure is rendered in a barbarous style with simplified drapery and wing detail, typical of Germanic tribal imitations. A mint mark, partially legible as TRP, appears in the exergue, imitating the Treveri (Trier) mint signature of the prototype. The overall composition echoes the Constantinian original but displays the characteristic degeneration of form associated with non-imperial workshop production.
