Reverse description The reverse depicts a winged, draped Victory striding hastily to the left, holding in her raised right hand a wreath inscribed XXV — referencing the vicennalia, the twenty-fifth anniversary of Constantius II's reign — while her left hand bears a trophy over the shoulder and a palm branch, symbols of military triumph. Before her, a seated captive wearing a distinctive pointed cap raises both arms, conveying submission to Roman imperial power. The dynamic composition is typical of the Cyzicus mint's output during the mid-fourth century. The reverse legend VICTORIA - AVGVSTORVM XXV proclaims the victory of the emperors, and the mintmark SMKA in the exergue identifies the Cyzicus mint workshop.
