| Reverse description | The allegorical figure of Spes (Hope), draped and rendered in motion, advances to the left. Her right hand is raised, lifting the hem of her garment, while her left hand holds a flower — the conventional attributes associated with this personification in Roman coinage. The reverse legend appears in the field, and the composition reflects the established iconographic tradition of Spes as a symbol of dynastic aspiration, particularly apposite for the coinage of a usurper seeking to legitimize his reign. |
