| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Tetricus I facing right, rendered in high relief with bold, somewhat provincial modeling characteristic of Gallic Empire gold coinage. The emperor is depicted bearded, wearing a radiate-free laurel wreath and a paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder. The obverse legend IMP C TETRICVS P F AVG encircles the effigy, with lettering distributed around the periphery of the flan. The coin has been mounted as a pendant, with a later-added loop soldered at the top, and the flan displays characteristic irregular edges typical of third-century hammered aurei. Scratch lines are visible across the field, consistent with ancient or early post-antique use as jewelry. |
