| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Emperor Arcadius, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed, rendered in the late Roman imperial style typical of the Theodosian period. The effigy displays the characteristic stylized treatment of drapery folds over the cuirass, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The Latin legend encircles the bust within the coin's field, partially obscured by the irregular flan. The portrait reflects the standardized imperial iconography of the late 4th-century Aquileian mint. |

| Reverse description | Victory advancing left, bearing a large trophy over her right shoulder while dragging a kneeling captive by the hair with her left hand, a composition emblematic of Roman military triumph. A Christogram (Chi-Rho monogram, ☧) appears in the right field, reflecting the Christianized imperial ideology of the Theodosian dynasty. The reverse type follows the SALVS REIPVBLICAE series issued across multiple mints under Theodosius I and his co-emperors. The mint mark in the exergue identifies the Aquileia mint and its officina. The Latin legend is distributed around the reverse field. |
