| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing right with head turned back to the left, rendered in the bold, stylized manner characteristic of Roman consecratio coinage. The bird's wings are partially spread, conveying an attitude of vigilance and imperial apotheosis, serving as the vehicle of the deified emperor's soul ascending to the heavens. The surrounding legend MEMORIAE AETERNAE, meaning 'to the eternal memory,' frames the field, underscoring the commemorative purpose of the issue. The reverse type follows the well-established Roman tradition of posthumous honorific coinage. The surface shows a dark green patina consistent with ancient bronze. |
