| Obverse description | Highly stylized, barbaric effigy facing right, rendered in a degenerate provincial style derived from late Roman imperial prototypes. The head is surrounded by an elaborate arrangement of curved, flame-like or foliate elements radiating outward, occupying the entire field. The lower portion features a cluster of pellets suggesting a chin or neck detail. The overall workmanship reflects a strongly abstracted, non-Classical artistic tradition characteristic of Gothic imitative coinage. |

| Reverse description | Winged figure standing facing, rendered in a schematic barbaric style, with outstretched wings formed by diagonal strokes extending to either side. A circular annulet is placed to the lower left and another to the lower right of the central figure, flanking the feet. A partial degenerate legend or pseudo-inscription runs along the upper periphery of the field. The composition imitates late Roman reverse types but is strongly abstracted, consistent with Gothic imitative denarii of the Taman region. |
