| Obverse description | Crude barbarous imitation of a radiate bust of Tetricus I facing right, draped and cuirassed, with the characteristic spiked radiate crown rendered in a simplified, degenerate style typical of late third-century Gallic imitations. The portrait, though schematic and poorly articulated, retains the general profile convention of the prototype. A surrounding legend is present but largely illegible, reduced to pseudo-epigraphic or blundered letterforms by the imitating die-cutter. The coin exhibits an irregular flan with typical rough surfaces and a patina of brown-green bronze corrosion. |
