| Reverse description | The personification of Victory is depicted seated right upon a cuirass, holding a shield balanced on her knee upon which she inscribes the votive numerals XXVXXX with a stylus, a motif expressing imperial celebration and dynastic continuity. A six-pointed star appears in the left field, while a staurogram (the Tau-Rho Christogram) is placed in the right field, affirming the Christian character of the late Roman imperial ideology. The mint mark CONOB appears in the exergue, denoting the Constantinople mint and the high purity of the gold used. The reverse legend VICTORIA AVGG encircles the design, invoking the victory of the augusti. |
