| Reverse description | The mint signature SRM (for Sirmium) rendered in large, bold characters between two horizontal lines occupying the central field of the reverse, with the surrounding legend VICTORIA AVGGG distributed around the periphery. The monogram-like presentation of the mint name is a hallmark of Gepid half-siliquae struck at Sirmium in imitation of contemporary Byzantine coinage. The overall design is bold and legible despite the irregular flan, with the horizontal bar arrangement giving the reverse a distinctive graphic quality. |
