| Opschrift voorzijde | IMP C TETRICVS PF AVG (Translation: IMP(erator) C(aesar) TETRICUS P(ius) F(elix) AUG(ustus) = the pius (dutiful) and fortunate (happy) emperor Caesar Tetricus) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Tetricus II as Caesar, depicted facing left, holding an olive branch in his right hand and a sceptre (hasta pura) in his left. The composition follows the standard PRINC IVVENT reverse type traditionally associated with junior co-rulers and imperial heirs within the Roman and Gallic Empire coinage tradition. The reverse legend encircles the field in Latin capitals. This reverse type, normally reserved for the coins of Tetricus II, appears here struck in the name of Tetricus I. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tetricus I issued PRINC IVVENT coinage elevating his son — Tetricus II — to the rank of Prince of Youth, a title traditionally signaling a designated heir. The gesture was politically hollow almost from the moment the coins were struck. By 274, Aurelian had swept into Gaul and the Tetrici surrendered at the Battle of Châlons without serious resistance, ending the breakaway Gallic Empire after barely a decade.
AGK 9a is among the better-documented varieties of this type, attributed by Gricourt's corpus of Gallic Empire issues. The fabric is debased well below nominal silver content — the billon composition varies considerably across surviving specimens.
