| Obverse description | Crude barbarous imitation of the radiate bust of Tetricus I facing right, wearing a radiate crown with splayed rays rendered in a debased, schematic style typical of unofficial Gallic coinage. The bust appears draped and cuirassed, though the fine details are heavily stylized and blundered due to the barbarous nature of the die. A partial, garbled Latin legend encircles the portrait in the field, imitating the imperial titulature of the prototype. |

| Reverse description | Blundered and schematically rendered figure of an uncertain deity standing left, depicted in a highly stylized barbarous manner with outstretched arms, likely imitating Hilaritas, Laetitia, or a similar personification from the Gallic Empire prototype coinage. The figure's attributes are indistinct due to the crude die engraving. A garbled and partially legible Latin legend is present in the surrounding field, corrupted from the original imperial reverse type. |
