| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed imperial bust facing right, rendered in the late antique style characteristic of Suebic imitative coinage. The effigy is encircled by a circumscription legend in Latin occupying the outer field. The bust reflects the Suebic tradition of imitating late Roman and Byzantine imperial prototypes, with stylized facial features and schematic drapery typical of the period. |

| Reverse description | A plain cross pattée at center, enclosed within a beaded or rope inner circle, itself surrounded by a laurel or wreath border composed of pellets and stylized foliage. The design is strongly influenced by contemporary Byzantine tremissis reverses, with the cross serving as the primary religious and iconographic motif. The outer legend occupies the border field between the wreath and the coin edge. The overall composition is compact and symmetrical, consistent with Suebic hammered gold coinage of the late sixth century. |
