| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Virtus rendered as a standing female figure facing left in crude barbarous style, dressed in military attire, resting her right hand on a grounded shield and holding a spear in her left hand. The figure occupies the full field of the flan. The surrounding legend VIRTVS AVGG, referencing the virtue of military valor, is partially visible and crudely engraved, consistent with the degenerate execution typical of barbarous radiate imitations of Gallic Empire prototypes. The overall style betrays an unofficial, locally struck origin. |

Tetricus I was the last ruler of the breakaway Gallic Empire, surrendering to Aurelian in 274 AD — after which, unusually, he was pardoned and appointed a provincial governor. The barbarous radiates imitating his coinage were struck clandestinely across Britain and northern Gaul long after reunification, filling a vacuum left when legitimate antoniniani became scarce in the northwest. Some hoards from Roman Britain contain these imitations in quantities exceeding official issues, suggesting local acceptance rather than mere desperation.
