| Reverse description | 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. |
