| Aversbeschreibung | Central field bears the interlaced monogram of King Gundobad (GB cipher), prominently displayed within the coin's center. The surrounding circular legend reads PAX ET ABVNDANTIA GVB, interrupted by a cross and a pellet or symbol on the left side, all rendered in late Roman epigraphic style. The die work is characteristic of early medieval Burgundian coinage, with an irregularly shaped flan typical of hammered silver production. The lettering is bold and slightly uneven, consistent with workshop practice of the period. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A winged Victory figure is depicted advancing to the right, holding a wreath in her outstretched hand, in a tradition derived directly from late Roman imperial coinage. The mint mark letters L and D are placed flanking the central figure in the field, one on each side, denoting the mint of Lugdunum (Lyon). The design closely imitates the reverse type of contemporary Eastern Roman tremisses, reflecting the Burgundian kingdom's political alignment with Byzantine imperial iconography. The style is schematic and somewhat simplified relative to its Roman prototypes, consistent with provincial Burgundian die-cutting of the early sixth century. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Gundobad ruled the Burgundian Kingdom from 473 until his death in 516, consolidating power after personally killing his uncle Chilperic II and drowning Chilperic's wife. His reign saw the promulgation of the Lex Gundobada, an attempt to codify Roman and Burgundian legal traditions into a single framework governing the mixed population of the Rhône valley. Coinage from Lyon under Gundobad continued imitating late imperial Roman types — a deliberate political signal that Burgundian rulers were legitimate heirs to Roman administrative authority, not conquerors replacing it.
Siliquae of this type are thin and frequently cracked at the edges, a known structural weakness of the flans used at Lyon in this period.
