| Beschrijving keerzijde | Vetranio standing facing, helmeted and in military dress, holding a Chi-Rho (Christogram) standard — the labarum — in his left hand and a spear or sceptre in his right, which crosses that of a female figure of Victory standing to the right. Victory, draped and winged, extends a wreath or palm toward the emperor in a gesture of acclamation. Both figures stand on a ground line. The exergue bears the mint mark •ASIS• (Siscia, first officina). The encircling legend HOC SIG-NO VICTOR ERIS (By this sign thou shalt be victor) runs around the upper field, within a beaded border. |

Vetranio's reign lasted roughly ten months in 350 AD, making this issue among the more historically peculiar of the late empire. He was proclaimed emperor by his own troops at Sirmium — possibly with the quiet encouragement of Constantina, daughter of Constantine I, who needed a loyalist buffer against the usurper Magnentius. Whether Vetranio was a genuine rival or a deliberate placeholder remains debated. He abdicated in December 350 after Constantius II confronted him at Naissus, reportedly talked down without bloodshed in a public address.
The Siscia mint was well within his controlled territory during his brief rule, which accounts for the relative accessibility of this type compared to the extreme rarity one might expect from so short a reign.
