| Reverse description | A seated female figure, likely an allegorical personification, is depicted facing right, holding an elongated scepter or staff in her right hand and an indeterminate object in her left. A palm frond is positioned prominently in the field before her, a motif commonly associated with victory or imperial celebration on late Roman aurei. The composition imitates a Roman imperial reverse type, though the execution reflects the hand of a Germanic craftsman unfamiliar with the precise iconographic conventions of the Roman mint. A blundered pseudo-Latin legend, composed of garbled letter forms, surrounds the central design. |
