| Reverse description | Full-length frontal figure of Valentinian III, draped and cuirassed, standing facing, holding a long cross in the right hand and a Victory on globe in the left hand, with the right foot placed upon the head of a human-headed, closed-coiled serpent. The composition follows the standard late Roman imperial reverse type associated with Western solidus coinage, here executed in the Visigothic imitative tradition with characteristic stylistic simplification. The exergue bears the mint mark COMOB, denoting gold of the highest purity refined at Constantinople, flanked by the workshop designator R A. The peripheral legend VICTORIA AVGGG encircles the upper field, referencing the three co-reigning Augusti in the conventional formula. The overall die work displays the bold, somewhat abstracted style typical of Visigothic emission in the name of Valentinian III. |
