| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Valentinian III facing right, rendered in a barbarous style characteristic of Suebi imitative coinage. The portrait is schematic and stylized, with crude delineation of facial features and drapery. A beaded inner border frames the central device, with the Latin imperial titulature legend running along the periphery. |

| Reverse description | Robed imperial figure standing left in a highly stylized, barbarous rendering, holding a long cross or standard in the right hand and a Victory or globus cruciger in the left. The figure stands above the exergual inscription CONOB, denoting the Constantinople gold standard, with the victory legend distributed around the field. The overall style is a debased imitation of late Roman imperial tremissis types, with the design elements noticeably simplified compared to official imperial issues. |
