| Reverse description | Two heavily stylised soldiers standing facing one another, each holding a spear or standard, with a single legionary standard surmounted by a Chi-Rho christogram placed between them — a simplified barbarous rendering of the standard GLORIA EXERCITVS reverse type. The figures are rendered in a crude, schematic manner with minimal anatomical detail, reflecting the degenerate artistry typical of unofficial imitative struck coinage. The surrounding field retains traces of a peripheral Latin legend, though individual letters are largely coalesced and poorly struck. No mint mark or exergual inscription is discernible. The overall composition follows the iconographic prototype of official Constantinian-era coinage but is significantly degraded in execution. |
