| Reverse description | The emperor stands facing left with head turned right, rendered in full military attire, holding a spear in his right hand and a shield in his left. A personification of Victoria (Victory) approaches from the left, extending a wreath to crown the emperor in a composition emblematic of imperial military virtue. The reverse legend VIRTVS EXERCITI, referencing the valor of the army, encircles the design, with the mint signature SMNA in the exergue denoting the Nicomedia mint, officina A. The type reflects the standard late Roman imperial iconography asserting the emperor's role as commander and protector of the state. |
