| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate bust of Tetricus I facing right, rendered in the crude, schematic style characteristic of barbarous imitations. The radiate crown is clumsily executed, with the spikes partially merged or irregularly spaced. The facial features are highly stylized and bear little resemblance to official Gallic Empire portraiture. No legible legend is present, the peripheral inscription being reduced to meaningless pseudo-epigraphic strokes or entirely absent. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Barbarous radiates imitating Tetricus I flooded the northwestern provinces in the early 270s as the Gallic Empire collapsed and legitimate coinage dried up. This piece belongs to that vast, poorly-documented wave — struck by unknown hands, almost certainly in Britain or northern Gaul, to fill a currency vacuum that official mints could no longer service. The Mars type was among the most frequently copied reverses, its simple design lending itself to rapid die-cutting by unskilled engravers.
