| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate and draped bust of Emperor Tacitus facing right, rendered in a crude, provincial barbarous style with imprecise die-cutting characteristic of unofficial imitative coinage. The effigy displays the radiate crown, a hallmark of the antoninianus denomination, though the facial features and drapery are clumsily executed. The surrounding legend reads IMP O TACITVS in debased Latin characters, partially garbled and unevenly spaced around the field. The flan is irregular and struck off-centre, consistent with unofficial production outside the imperial mint system. Green patination is visible in areas of the field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure, likely a deity or personification imitating a standard Tacitus reverse type such as Pax or Felicitas, rendered in a highly schematic and barbarous manner with indistinct attributes. The figure appears to hold an object in one or both hands, though the crude workmanship makes precise identification difficult. The surrounding legend is entirely blundered, comprising imitative pseudo-Latin letterforms that are largely illegible and bear no coherent meaning. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, with significant flat areas consistent with poor die alignment and inadequate flan preparation. The overall execution is typical of late third-century barbarous radiates produced beyond the boundaries of official Roman mint control. |
