| Obverse description | Crude, pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed imperial bust facing right, struck in the manner of a barbarous imitation. The surrounding legend is largely degenerate and illegible, retaining only vestiges of the original Latin titulature, consistent with unofficial workshop production. |

| Reverse description | Central Chi Rho monogram with elongated, stylized petal-like forms radiating into each of the four quadrants, the whole enclosed within a beaded or laurel wreath border. The design is boldly rendered but exhibits the irregular, summary workmanship characteristic of post-Vandal imitative coinage, with the wreath visible around the outer edge of the flan. |
