| Reverse description | Crude barbaric imitation of a standing figure, rendered in a simplified and stylized manner typical of Germanic tribal imitations of Roman quinarii. The figure strides to the right in a pose loosely derived from Roman Victory or similar reverse types common on late Roman gold coinage. The body is elongated and schematically executed, with minimal anatomical detail, and the surrounding field is plain. A degenerate legend of garbled Latin letterforms encircles the design, partially preserved and largely illegible. The strike is irregular and the flan shows the uneven edges characteristic of hand-hammered barbarous production. |
