| Beschrijving keerzijde | A prominent Latin cross, potent in style, set at the centre of the field and enclosed within a laurel wreath tied at the base, a reverse type standard to late Western Roman tremisses. The wreath is rendered with careful detail, its berried branches encircling the cross in a symmetrical arrangement. The mint control mark COMOB appears in the exergue, denoting gold of the highest purity struck at the Mediolanum mint. The overall composition reflects the Christianised imperial iconography that had become standard on Roman gold coinage by the mid-fifth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Olybrius ruled for no more than seven months in 472 — placed on the throne by the Vandal king Gaiseric, who was his father-in-law, and dead of natural causes before the year ended. His coinage is accordingly rare across all denominations, and the Milan mint's output was particularly limited; Mediolanum had been functionally eclipsed by Ravenna for decades, making any authenticated tremissis from this mint a document of the Western empire's last administrative convulsions rather than a product of any real monetary program.
