| Reverse description | The reverse bears a stacked four-line Latin votive legend arranged across the field, reading D N VVIT IGES REX, identifying Witigis as king. The inscription is enclosed within a decorative wreath border, a common reverse type for Ostrogothic copper nummi struck at Ravenna. The lettering is irregular and somewhat crude, reflecting the hammered technique and the declining standards of die-cutting in the final years of Ostrogothic rule. |
