| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Valentinian I facing right, wearing a pearl diadem with a distinctive row of large globular pearls across the forehead and elaborately dressed hair. The emperor is depicted in military attire, with paludamentum fastened at the shoulder visible below the cuirass. The effigy is rendered in the late Roman imperial style, with bold and confident die-cutting characteristic of the Antioch mint. The circumferential Latin legend is divided by the bust and reads D N VALENTINI-ANVS P F AVG within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The emperor stands facing, head turned slightly right, in full military dress including helmet, cuirass, and paludamentum, holding a labarum (chi-rho standard) in his right hand and a Victory on globe in his left hand. A small captive kneels at his feet to the left. The composition conveys imperial triumph and the restoration of Roman order. The circumferential Latin legend RESTITVTOR-REIPVBLICAE frames the scene, and the mint mark •ANTA• appears in the exergue, identifying the first officina of the Antioch mint. |
