| Obverse description | Right-facing draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Libius Severus, adorned with a pearl diadem, rendered in the late antique Roman imperial style characteristic of fifth-century gold coinage. The effigy displays carefully delineated drapery folds at the shoulder and chest, with the cuirass visible below. A circumferential Latin legend surrounds the portrait field, reading D N LIBIVS SEVER-VS PE AVG, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The flan is irregular, as is typical of hammered late Roman tremisses struck at Mediolanum. |
