| Beschrijving keerzijde | The emperor stands facing left in military dress, extending his right hand to raise a kneeling female figure — personifying the Roman Republic or a province — from the ground, an iconographic motif of imperial restoration and beneficence. The composition is derived from the official REPARATIO REIPVB type but rendered with the schematic, abbreviated style typical of barbarous imitations produced in the Iberian Peninsula. A garbled or abbreviated Latin legend surrounds the central design, with a mint or workshop mark in the exergue that is largely illegible on this irregular flan. |

Magnus Maximus seized power in Britain in 383, crossed to Gaul, and held the western empire until Theodosius crushed him in 388. His brief usurpation generated enormous demand for coinage across territories that lacked adequate official supply — particularly in Spain, where irregular local production filled the gap. These barbarous imitations copied the REPARATIO REIPVB type closely enough to circulate but were struck outside any imperial mint framework, with no issuing authority, no accountability, and wildly inconsistent execution.
RIC IX 32 documents the official prototype from Lugdunum. The Spanish imitative series is identified primarily by fabric and find context rather than legend legibility, which degrades sharply across the spectrum of known examples.
