| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Postumus facing right, portrayed with a short beard, set upon a radiate crown typical of the antoninianus denomination. The emperor's effigy is rendered in the robust, somewhat provincial style characteristic of Gallic Empire coinage. The circumferential Latin legend reads POSTVMVS PIVS FELIX AVG, distributed around the bust from left to right. The flan is irregular and slightly cracked, consistent with hammered billon coinage of the period. The relief is bold, with fine detail preserved in the radiate crown and facial features despite moderate wear. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts the Eleventh Labour of Hercules — the stealing of the golden apples from the Garden of the Hesperides. Hercules is shown standing at right, nude and muscular, facing left, receiving the apples from one of the Hesperides nymphs who stands before him at left, partially draped. A stylised tree with spreading branches occupies the upper field between the two figures, representing the mythological garden. The abbreviated legend HERCVLI ROM appears at right, referencing Hercules in his Roman civic aspect. The scene is rendered in the lively, somewhat provincial style of the Lugdunum mint under Postumus. |
