| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Maximianus facing right, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of Tetrarchic coinage. The laureate wreath is clearly delineated with individual leaves, and the emperor's strong, mature features — including a prominent jaw and short-cropped beard — reflect the Tetrarchic artistic canon of austere imperial authority. The cuirass or paludamentum is visible at the base of the bust. The Latin legend IMP C MAXIMIANVS PF AVG encircles the effigy, reading clockwise from the lower left. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Moneta stands draped in full figure, facing left, in a composed classical pose. In her raised right hand she holds a set of scales, symbol of equitable measurement of currency, while her left hand supports a cornucopia overflowing with abundance, together embodying the prosperity and integrity of the imperial monetary system. The legend SACRA MONET AVGG ET CAESS NOSTR encircles the type, referring to the sacred coinage of the Augusti and Caesars. An asterisk mark appears in the lower field, and the exergue bears the mintmark ST, denoting the secunda officina (second workshop) of the Ticinum mint. |
