| Beschrijving keerzijde | A long cross on steps occupies the centre of the reverse field, a design directly derived from Byzantine tremissis prototypes. The cross is rendered in a simplified, somewhat barbaric manner, with globules or pellets adorning the design. The surrounding legend reads VICTORIA APIV, a debased form of VICTORIA AVGVSTI, with the standard Byzantine mint control mark COMOB in the exergue, imitating the Constantinople gold coinage. The overall style is characteristic of Germanic imitative gold coinage of the second half of the seventh century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pseudo-imperial tremisses of this type were struck by Germanic successor kingdoms — most likely Frankish or Lombard moneyers — copying Byzantine prototypes long after the named emperor had any relevance to the issuing authority. Constans II died in 668, murdered in his bath in Syracuse, yet his name continued circulating on coinage for decades simply because it was familiar and trusted in trade networks that had no interest in political accuracy.
The DOC cf. 17 reference signals the coin doesn't cleanly match any catalogued Byzantine issue — the tell of a barbarian imitation.
