| Reverse description | A large bold capital V, denoting the numeral 5 (quinque nummi), occupies the center of the reverse field, serving as the principal type. The value mark is flanked by the royal legend arranged around the periphery of the coin. The design is characteristic of Ostrogothic regal coinage issued in the name of Athalaric, imitating earlier Roman monetary conventions while asserting barbarian royal authority. The flan is small and irregular, with weak striking in places consistent with hammered bronze coinage of this era. |
