| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Valentinian I rendered with fine late Roman craftsmanship, the emperor adorned with a prominent pearl diadem of multiple rows of beads, his hair rendered in short, textured strands beneath. The effigy is draped in a paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder and cuirassed, with the articulated armour plates clearly visible at the truncation. The portrait conveys imperial authority through a strong, sharply defined profile with prominent nose and jaw. The encircling Latin legend reads D N VALENTINI-ANVS P F AVG, distributed around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | The emperor is depicted standing facing, his head turned to the right, clad in full military attire. In his right hand he holds a labarum — a Christian standard surmounted by a cross — while his left hand supports a globe bearing the figure of Victory. The reverse legend RESTITV-TOR REIP, meaning 'Restorer of the Republic,' is distributed to either side of the central figure. The exergue contains the officina letter and mintmark SLVG followed by a dot, identifying the second officina of the Lugdunum mint. |
