| Reverse description | The emperor Vetranio stands facing left in full military attire, holding two labarum standards, each bearing a Christogram, one in each hand.

The letter A is placed in the left field, while the mint mark •ASIS* appears in the exergue, denoting the first officina of the Siscia mint. The surrounding legend reads CONCORDIA MILITVM, referencing the harmony of the armies, a politically significant type issued during Vetranio's brief usurpation of AD 350. |
