| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Galerius Maximianus as Caesar facing right, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of the Tetrarchic period. The portrait displays the emperor's strong, idealized features with a short beard, the laurel wreath firmly set upon his head. The surrounding field is bordered by a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend reading MAXIMIANVS NOBIL C disposed around the periphery, identifying him as Noble Caesar. |

| Reverse description | The Genius of the Roman People stands facing left in the central field, depicted nude save for a chlamys draped over his left shoulder, wearing a modius (grain measure) upon his head — a symbol of abundance. He extends his right hand forward offering a patera for libation, while his left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with fruits. The figure stands on a low ground line. The field is divided by the control marks S and F flanking the figure at mid-level. The exergue bears the mint mark ITR, denoting the first officina of the Treveri mint. The circumferential legend GENIO POPV-LI ROMANI runs around the upper and lower periphery. |
