Obverse lettering Crude and often retrograde or blundered inscription, attempting to mimic the original legend of Decentius.
Reverse description Deeply worn and crudely struck reverse depicting two Victories facing one another, each holding a wreath or shield, copied from the official VICTORIAE DD NN AVG ET CAES type issued under Decentius between 350 and 353. The central design elements are barely distinguishable, rendered in a primitive barbarous manner with shallow, formless relief. A blundered or entirely garbled exergual mintmark is present below the design line, imitating but failing to reproduce any legible official mint signature. The surrounding legend is corrupt and largely illegible, consisting of pseudo-Latin letterforms in imitation of the standard reverse inscription.
