Base silver or copper alloy contemporary copy (Barbarous radiate) of a Radiate of either Victorinus (269-271 AD) or Tetricus (271-274 AD). The obverse depicts a head facing right with a radiate crown. The head is crudely depicted with low brow, pointed (globular) nose, and spiky beard. The obverse inscription is lost. The reverse depicts a figure (possibly Invictus) standing. This depiction is little more than a crude stick figure. The reverse inscription is also lost.
