| Reverse description | A spread eagle displayed with wings raised stands centrally between two military trophies, with the senatorial authority mark divided on either side of the eagle in the field. The design is that of the original Galba As reverse, struck at Rome, now repurposed as a host flan for the Ostrogothic countermark coinage. The surfaces are heavily worn, consistent with extended circulation through two monetary systems. The letters flanking the eagle are bold and well-spaced within the broad flan. |
