| Reverse description | Victory advancing left, wings spread, holding a wreath in the right hand and a globus cruciger in the left, treading upon a serpent or captive figure beneath her feet. The figure is rendered dynamically in the classical tradition, symbolizing Roman imperial triumph. The exergue bears the mint mark COMOB, denoting gold of the highest purity struck at Constantinople (used as a standard reference even for Rome-struck issues), while the surrounding field carries the legend VICTORIA AVGVSTORVM and the vow inscription VOTVMLX. |
