| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Victoria is depicted advancing to the right, rendered in flowing robes with wings extended behind her. She holds a wreath aloft in her right hand and a long palm branch in her left, emblematic of military triumph. The figure is rendered in the standard schematic style of mid-third-century Gallic imperial coinage. A mint mark appears in the left field. The encircling legend references the imperial victory ideology promoted by Marius during his brief reign. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Marius ruled for perhaps three months in 269 AD — sources differ, with some ancient accounts compressing his reign to as little as two days, almost certainly an exaggeration intended to mock his low birth. A former blacksmith elevated by his own troops, he was killed by his own men shortly after taking power. His coinage is accordingly scarce, and the VICTORIA AVG type was almost certainly propaganda issued to legitimize a reign that ended before any actual victory could be claimed.
