A border of dots surrounds the helmeted head of Roma, looking right, with an X (mark for the denarius) inscribed behind.
There is possibly a line border around the dioscuri, facing right. Only small portions of the legend, ROMA, in exergue, are evident on this example. An identifying mark on the coin may have become illegible.
