| Reverse description | Winged Victory striding right, holding a wreath aloft in the right hand, with a royal or mint monogram positioned in the left field before the figure. The Victory type is derived from the Byzantine solidus and tremissis tradition, adapted here by Burgundian die engravers with characteristic stylistic simplification. The reverse legend VICTORA ACVTORM S IND G CONOB encircles the central type, representing a degraded rendering of the standard Byzantine VICTORIA AVGGG formula with the CONOB mint mark indicating a notional reference to Constantinople gold standard. The exergue and field show the flat, compact fabric typical of hammered Merovingian-period imitative tremisses. |
