Obverse description Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Valentinian III facing right, rendered in the late antique imperial style characteristic of Visigothic imitative coinage. The effigy displays a prominent pearl diadem crowning the emperor's head, with elaborately rendered hair falling in tight curls at the nape. The paludamentum is fastened at the right shoulder with a circular fibula, and the cuirass with pteryges is visible below. The circumferential Latin legend reads D N PLA VALENTI-NIANVS P F AVG, separated by the bust, with letters of slightly irregular execution reflecting the Visigothic workshop's imitative hand.
