The figure is rendered in the bold, compact style characteristic of Tetrarchic reverses, emphasising the divine patron of Maximianus Herculius. The reverse legend VIRTVS AVGVSTORVM arcs around the upper field, while the mintmark, incorporating XXI and an officina letter, appears in the exergue and field, denoting the silver content and workshop of issue. |
