| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse depicts a standing imperial figure, likely the emperor in military dress, facing left or frontal and holding a standard or spear, rendered in a barbarised style consistent with Germanic imitative coinage of the late 4th to early 5th century. A captive or trophy may be present at the figure's feet, echoing the Restitutor Rei Publicae reverse type common to official Valentinianic bronze issues. The surrounding legend is largely illegible, with visible fragments […] - RCVVG[…], a garbled rendering of RESTITVTOR REI PVBLICAE. The overall execution is coarse, with poorly centred dies and irregular flan shaping characteristic of non-official Germanic struck imitations. |

Produced by Germanic groups operating beyond or along the fractured Rhine-Danube frontier, these unofficial struck bronzes imitated late Roman imperial coinage at a moment when the western administrative apparatus was collapsing too fast to enforce monetary standards. Valens died at Adrianople in 378, but his name continued circulating on coins he never authorized, minted by peoples who found Roman denominations useful precisely because Roman authority was disintegrating.
