| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Honorius facing right, rendered in the late antique barbarous style typical of Suebi imitative coinage. The effigy is surrounded by a circular Latin legend reading D N HONORIVS P F AVG, with lettering that may show some degeneration characteristic of barbarian imitations. The portrait, though stylized, retains the essential iconographic elements of the imperial prototype. |

| Reverse description | A prominent cross potent or ankh-like cross stands in the central field, enclosed within a wreath of laurel or palm fronds that frames the entire design in a circular arrangement, as clearly visible on the coin image. The wreath is rendered in a stylized, slightly barbarous manner consistent with Suebi imitative tremisses. The reverse legend COH appears in the field, referencing the purity of the gold and its Constantinopolitan prototype. The overall reverse composition closely imitates late Roman imperial tremissis types struck at Constantinople in the name of Honorius. |
