| Reverse description | Standing figure of Victory (assimilated to a winged angelic or saintly type in the Germanic imitative tradition), depicted facing, with wings spread, holding a long staff or cross in the left hand and a globus cruciger or wreath in the right. The exergual inscription CONOB, referencing the Constantinople mint and gold purity standard, is retained from the Byzantine prototype. The surrounding retrograde legend, read from right to left, is a debased rendering of the imperial Victory formula. The style is crude and angular, characteristic of barbarous imitations struck by uncertain Germanic tribes. |
