| Reverse description | A standing female figure, likely representing Armenia or a personification of Victory, depicted facing left in a long draped garment. She extends one arm forward, possibly holding a branch or small object, with a trophy or standard visible at her side. The style is barbaric, with simplified anatomical rendering and a beaded border. The surrounding legend reads P M TR P XIX IMP III COS II, adapted from the titulature of Marcus Aurelius. The overall composition imitates a Roman imperial reverse type but with notable deviation in execution and proportions consistent with Germanic workshop production. |
