| Reverse description | The personification of Moneta stands in full figure, facing left, holding a pair of scales in her raised right hand and a cornucopiae in her left. The figure is rendered in the classical allegorical tradition, symbolizing the legitimacy and prosperity of the Gallic imperial coinage. The reverse legend is distributed across the upper field flanking the figure, with no exergual inscription. The composition reflects the Lugdunum mint's competent but somewhat provincial engraving style characteristic of Postumus's reign. |
