Here is a picture of one of the Valens gold medallions from the
Simleul Silvaniei hoard. The piece is a 'barbaric' copy of an
official Roman medaillion. It was likely made by Goths and would
testified to extremely fine workmanship.

These medallions were given to barbaric chieftains in return for
loyalty.
cheers,
