| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Postumus facing right, rendered in the vigorous late Roman imperial style typical of Gallic Empire coinage. The radiate crown, composed of pointed rays, identifies the denomination as an antoninianus. The paludamentum drapes over the left shoulder, while the cuirass is visible beneath, conveying the emperor's martial authority. The surrounding Latin legend reads IMP C POSTVMVS PF AVG, distributed clockwise around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Jupiter depicted nude, standing facing with head turned to the right, in the canonical pose of Iuppiter Stator. In his extended right arm he holds a thunderbolt, the principal attribute of the supreme deity, while his left hand rests upon a long vertical scepter. The figure is rendered in the abbreviated but confident style characteristic of mid-third-century Gallic mint production. The reverse legend IOVI STATORI is distributed in the field around the deity, invoking Jupiter in his role as the god who makes armies stand firm in battle. |
