| Reverse description | Two winged Victories standing facing each other, flanking a central podium or altar between them, the whole design encircled by a degenerate legend. The composition is derived from official Roman reverse types celebrating imperial victory, but is rendered in a debased, imitative style consistent with barbarous or Germanic struck imitations. The figures of Victory retain their general iconographic form — wings spread, facing inward — though the execution is schematic and the surrounding inscription is largely garbled and fragmented, comprising repetitive stroke-like letterforms rather than coherent Latin text. |
