| Reverse description | Victory advancing left, rendered in a highly stylized and degenerate barbaric manner, holding a wreath or palm. The reverse field shows the mint signature SIRM (for Sirmium) incorporated into the design, partially retrograde. The surrounding legend NINCICVCVONOV SIRM is a barbarous imitation of the imperial Victory reverse legend, reflecting the Gepidic practice of copying Byzantine siliqua prototypes while significantly debasing the epigraphy and iconography. |
