| Obverse description | Crudely executed radiate and draped bust facing right, imitating the imperial portrait of Victorinus. The radiate crown is rendered in a simplified, barbarous style with irregular spikes. The facial features are poorly defined, characteristic of unofficial workshop production. The surrounding field is plain, and any attempt at a legend is reduced to blundered, illegible pseudo-lettering arranged around the bust. |

| Reverse description | A crudely rendered standing figure, likely imitating a standard Victorinus reverse type such as Salus or Pax, depicted facing right in a highly simplified barbarous style. The figure's attributes are largely indistinct and poorly defined, reflecting the limitations of the unofficial die-cutter. The overall composition is debased and compressed, with no discernible legend or exergual inscription preserved. |
