| Obverse description | Radiate or striated field with irregular, heavily worn surface exhibiting pronounced parallel ridges radiating outward from a central area, consistent with a heavily degraded imitative denarius type. No legible effigy or legend is discernible; the design has been reduced to abstract linear elements, reflecting the barbarous imitative tradition of Gothic coinage on the Taman Peninsula. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with a patina of green corrosion overlying the billon fabric. |

| Reverse description | A cross-like or anchor-shaped motif occupies the central field, formed by two intersecting raised bars meeting at approximately right angles, with a rounded element at the top that may represent a degraded imperial bust or globus. The lower field shows additional indistinct linear elements, possibly vestigial remnants of a standing figure or standard. The overall design is characteristic of a barbarous imitative reverse, derived from late Roman prototypes, executed with simplified, schematic engraving typical of Gothic tribal coinage of the Taman Peninsula region. |
