| Reverse description | Barbarous imitation of a Roman imperial reverse type, depicting a standing or seated figure, likely imitating a deity or personification such as Roma or Victory, rendered in a crude Germanic workshop style. The figure appears to stand beside or interact with a throne or trophy, consistent with common late Roman reverse prototypes. A piercing hole is visible at the top of the flan, confirming use as a pendant. The surrounding legend is a debased and largely illegible imitation of a Latin inscription, with individual letters and letter-groups carelessly copied by an engraver unfamiliar with Latin. The overall execution is characteristic of Germanic prestige imitations of Roman gold coinage produced between the mid-third and early fourth centuries. |
