| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of Tetricus I facing right, wearing the characteristic radiate crown with multiple pointed rays. The emperor is depicted with a short beard, rendered in the late Roman provincial style typical of Gallic Empire coinage. The peripheral Latin legend IMP C TETRICVS PF AVG runs around the bust, partially visible on the irregular flan. The portraiture reflects the declining artistic quality characteristic of Gallic Empire antoniniani of this period. |

Tetricus I ruled the Gallic Empire under constant military pressure, and by 272–273 his authority was visibly crumbling — Tetricus II had been elevated as co-emperor largely to project dynastic stability that didn't exist. The SPES PVBLICA reverse type, invoking public hope, appeared with almost cynical frequency in this terminal phase of the breakaway empire. Within months of this issue, Tetricus surrendered to Aurelian at the Battle of Châlons, reportedly having sent secret overtures to Aurelian beforehand, effectively negotiating his own defeat.
Billon content in late Gallic Empire antoninianii had degraded severely by this point, often approaching silver levels indistinguishable from base metal washes.
