| Obverse description | Diademed, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Honorius facing right, wearing a pearl diadem with elaborate beaded ornamentation and a paludamentum fastened at the shoulder. The portrait is rendered in late Roman imperial style with fine linear engraving. The circumferential legend D N HONORIVS P F AVG runs around the bust, partially abbreviated due to the irregular flan. The effigy closely imitates contemporary Western Roman imperial coinage, underscoring the Suebic kingdom's legitimizing strategy of invoking Roman imperial authority. |
