| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the negative impression of the crowned frontal bust with sceptre and shield, the beaded inner circle, and traces of the peripheral legend. The surface retains the characteristic shallow concavity of hammered bracteate production, with the flan edges remaining plain and irregular. |
