Obverse lettering OAOOS - SIPPTZOIILSO IIII
Reverse description Standing female figure, likely a personification such as Fortuna or Laetitia, facing left and holding a rudder in her right hand and a cornucopiae in her left. The figure is rendered in a simplified, barbarous style consistent with Germanic imitative production. A surrounding pseudo-Latin legend, largely degenerated and illegible, encircles the reverse field. The design is derived from standard Roman imperial reverse iconography but executed with the characteristic crudeness of non-official workshop production.
