| Obverse description | Barbaric imitation bust facing right, depicted with an animal (bear) head in place of the emperor's effigy, draped and cuirassed in the manner of late Roman imperial portraiture. The bust is surrounded by a degenerate, nonsensical Latin legend derived from an imperial prototype but rendered in the hand of a provincial or barbarian die-cutter unfamiliar with the original inscription. The overall style is crude and schematic, characteristic of late 4th- to early 5th-century Germanic imitative coinage. |

| Reverse description | Barbaric imitation of the FEL TEMP REPARATIO reverse type, depicting a helmeted Roman soldier standing right, spearing a fallen enemy warrior who lies beneath him. The soldier's posture and equipment follow the standard late Roman iconographic formula, though rendered in a degenerate, simplified style consistent with Germanic imitative coinage. The scene is surrounded by a corrupted Latin legend imitating the original imperial reverse inscription. Mint marks appear in the exergue and fields in some variants, imitating those of official Roman mints. |
