| 正面描述 | Bare-headed, cuirassed bust of the usurper Decentius facing right, portrayed in a vigorous late Roman imperial style. The hair is rendered in close-cropped, striated locks swept forward across the brow. The cuirass is visible at the truncation of the shoulder, indicating military dress befitting a Caesar. The encircling Latin legend reads DN DECENTIVS NOB CAES, identifying him as Noble Caesar under the Augustan authority of Magnentius. |

Decentius was the brother — possibly the younger brother — of the usurper Magnentius, elevated to Caesar in 351 to govern the western provinces while Magnentius confronted Constantius II in the east. The arrangement collapsed at the Battle of Mons Seleucus in 353, where Magnentius was defeated. Decentius, stranded in Gaul with no viable escape, hanged himself shortly after. The Lugdunum mint, one of the most productive western mints under the usurpation, ceased striking in his name immediately.
RIC VIII 124 is a chi-rho reverse type — its presence on a usurper's coinage reflects Magnentius's calculated bid for Christian support against Constantius.
