| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Galerius (as Caesar, styled MAXIMIANVS NOB CAES) facing right, rendered in the robust Tetrarchic style characteristic of the Diocletianic reform coinage. The portrait displays closely cropped hair beneath a laurel wreath, with a short beard, and the truncation of the bust cut diagonally at the shoulder. The circumscribed Latin legend runs clockwise around the portrait within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Carthage stands facing, her head turned to the left, dressed in a long flowing robe. She holds fruits in both outstretched hands, symbolising the city's renowned agricultural abundance. The Latin legend SALVIS AVGG ET CAESS FEL KART encircles the figure within a beaded border, and the officina letter Delta (Δ), denoting the fourth workshop, appears in the exergue below the ground line. |
