| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Tetricus I facing right, rendered with short curly hair and a close-cropped beard characteristic of the mid-third century military style. The radiate crown is absent, confirming the aureus denomination. The emperor wears segmented cuirass with visible paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP C TETRICVS P F AVG, positioned along the beaded border. The die work reflects the provincial engraving style of the Treveri mint, with bold, slightly stylized facial features typical of Gallic Empire gold coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By 272, Tetricus I was ruling an empire in name only. The Gallic Empire he inherited from Victorinus was hemorrhaging territory, plagued by military mutinies, and facing increasing pressure from Aurelian's reunification campaigns in the east. This aureus, struck at Treveri (modern Trier), dates to the period when Tetricus was issuing coinage in gold that his antoninianus output in billon made almost laughably debased by comparison.
Tetricus surrendered to Aurelian at the Battle of Châlons in 274 — and notably survived, living out his days as a provincial administrator in Italy. Aurei of his reign are rare; the Treveri mint's gold production was never prolific.
