| Obverse description | Radiate and draped bust of Tetricus I facing right, rendered in the crude, simplified style typical of barbarous radiates. The radiate crown is broadly indicated by irregular spikes. The obverse legend, partially legible, reads TETRICVS in debased Latin capital letters around the periphery of the flan, though the lettering is clumsily executed and partially off-flan due to the irregular striking characteristic of contemporary imitations. |

| Reverse description | Virtus standing left, leaning on a grounded shield with her right hand and holding a spear in her left. The figure is rendered in a schematic, barbarous style with simplified drapery and crude musculature. A partial legend surrounds the type, reading VIRTVS AVGG in debased Latin capitals, though the lettering is irregular and partially illegible due to the poor quality of the die engraving and the small, uneven flan. A beaded border is visible along the lower rim. |
