| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude barbarian imitation of a late Roman imperial portrait: pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Constantius II facing right, rendered in a simplified, provincial style typical of Germanic imitations. The effigy is encircled by a degenerate, nonsensical legend derived from the standard imperial titulature, now largely illegible. The beaded border frames the entire design. The workmanship reflects a non-Roman die-cutter's attempt to replicate official Constantinian coinage, resulting in schematic facial features and distorted drapery folds. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
These struck bronze imitations — loosely copying the FEL TEMP REPARATIO fallen-horseman type issued under Constantius II from 348 onward — were produced by Germanic groups operating beyond the Danubian frontier, likely in the middle Danube region. The prototypes flooded the northwestern provinces in such volume that local and irregular copying became economically rational. This specific variant, with the soldier oriented upward and apparently flying toward the horse rather than standing over it, reflects the progressive degradation of the design through successive generations of copying from copies rather than from official dies.
