| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Valentinian I facing right, rendered in the late Roman imperial style characteristic of the Siscia mint. The emperor wears a pearl diadem, with the drapery and cuirass rendered in low relief. The obverse legend D N VALENTINI-ANVS P F AVG runs clockwise around the periphery, divided by the bust. The flan is irregular in shape, as typical of fourth-century hammered nummi, with a dotted border encircling the effigy. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Victory advancing left, holding a wreath in the right hand and a palm branch over the left shoulder, rendered in the conventional late Roman iconographic style associated with the Securitas Reipublicae type. The reverse legend SECVRITAS-REIPVBLICAE is distributed around the periphery, with the field marks D/P to the left and F to the right of the figure. The exergue bears the mint signature ΓSISCS or ΓSISCϟ, identifying this as the product of the third officina of the Siscia mint. A dotted border frames the design. |
