| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Julian of Pannonia facing right, depicted in the standard imperial military manner of the late third century. The radiate crown, composed of pointed rays, is clearly rendered above the portrait. The cuirass indicates the emperor's military role, while the drapery is visible over the left shoulder. The encircling Latin legend, partially worn, identifies the emperor by his full titulature. The flan is irregular and the relief is somewhat flat, characteristic of a hastily produced usurper's coinage. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Felicitas stands facing left in a composed, statuesque pose. She holds a short caduceus in her right hand and a long sceptre in her left hand, emblematic of prosperity and imperial favour. The field carries the mint mark S B in the lower portion, with the officina and purity mark XXI visible, denoting a billon alloy of approximately one part silver to twenty. The surrounding Latin legend proclaims the happiness of the times. The reverse type follows the standard late Roman aurelianus format, though the execution reflects the limited resources of a provincial usurper's mint. |
