| Reverse description | Winged Victory standing facing left, holding a long staff or cross in the right hand and a globus cruciger in the left, rendered in the manner of the Constantinopolitan solidus reverse type. The figure is depicted in long robes with stylized drapery, consistent with late antique artistic conventions as interpreted by Germanic die-cutters. A circular legend surrounds the figure, with CONCORDIA AVGGG referencing the harmony of the Augusti. The exergue bears the CONOB mintmark, imitating the Constantinople gold standard, although the overall execution reflects barbarian imitative craftsmanship. Star or control marks appear in the field. |
