| Obverse description | Laureate and bearded bust of Maximianus (Maximian Herculius) facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and short curled beard characteristic of the Tetrarchic period. The emperor is depicted bare-necked with the truncation of the shoulders visible at the lower edge. A beaded border encircles the coin. The circumferential legend reads MAXIMIANVS AVGVSTVS, identifying the emperor by name and imperial title. |

| Reverse description | A heroically nude or semi-armored standing figure, most likely the emperor or a divine personification, faces left in the central field, holding what appears to be a branch or olive spray in the right hand. The figure is flanked on either side by two military standards surmounted by decorative finials, evoking imperial triumph and martial authority. The composition is rendered in bold, blocky relief typical of late third-century Roman die-cutting. The abbreviated legend P M TR P P P is distributed across the field to the left and right of the central figure, referencing the emperor's principal constitutional titles. |
