| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Magnentius facing right, rendered in a barbarous style typical of Germanic imitative coinage. The effigy is encircled by a degenerate, nonsensical legend derived from the original imperial prototype, with individual letter forms degraded beyond legibility. The overall workmanship reflects the hand of an unofficial die-cutter imitating Roman imperial types. |
