| Aversbeschreibung | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Tetricus I facing right, rendered with pronounced facial features including a full beard, in the vigorous late Roman imperial style. The radiate wreath crown is replaced here by a laurel wreath befitting the aureus denomination. The legend encircles the bust within a finely beaded border, reading IMP C TETRICVS P F AVG. The portrait displays considerable artistry, with detailed hair and beard rendered in bold relief typical of Gallic Empire coinage. |

Tetricus I came to power in 271 not through military coup but by senatorial acclamation in Gaul following the murder of Victorinus — an oddly constitutional moment for a secessionist state. His reign was precarious from the start, facing continuous pressure from Aurelian's reunification campaign. The Gallic Empire's gold coinage is notoriously inconsistent in quality, and aurei of Tetricus in particular vary widely in fabric, likely reflecting disrupted bullion supply as Aurelian tightened his grip on the western provinces.
The end came at the Battle of Châlons in 274. Aurelian pardoned Tetricus and reportedly installed him as a governor in southern Italy — an almost theatrical act of clemency.
