| Reverse description | Standing figure of Emperor Postumus facing left, clad in military attire, holding a long spear in his left hand while extending his right arm toward the personification of Gallia, who kneels before him to the right. Gallia, rendered as a female figure in supplicant pose, holds a spear and turns her gaze upward toward the emperor in a gesture of submission and gratitude. The composition powerfully conveys the propagandistic message of Postumus as restorer and protector of the Gallic provinces. The reverse legend RESTITVTOR GALLIAR encircles the field. |
