| Reverse description | A military figure, likely a personification of victory or a Roman soldier, stands facing left in the field, holding a long staff or spear in the right hand and a globus or shield in the left. The figure is rendered in a schematic late antique style, with drapery indicated by simple incised lines. A Latin legend partially encircles the standing figure, reading as an acclamation to the king. The reverse composition follows established late Roman and early medieval bronze nummi conventions, with the inscription distributed across both sides of the field. |
