| Reverse description | A retrograde and reversed monogram of Theoderic, king of the Ostrogoths, occupies the central field, with a cross positioned above. The monogram, executed in a barbarous and degenerate style, is enclosed within a surrounding Latin legend. The design closely imitates official Ostrogothic issues struck at Sirmium in the name of Theoderic, reflecting the political and cultural overlap between the Gepids and the Ostrogothic administration of the region. The overall execution is rough, consistent with provincial Gepid die-cutting practices of the early sixth century. |
