| Reverse description | A side view of a table bearing a wreath, with a horse standing to the right, all enclosed by a degraded Latin legend. The scene imitates Nero's Roman prototype commemorating the Certamen Quinquennale, rendered in a barbarous style with simplified iconographic elements. The table and wreath motif, derived from official Roman coin types, is crudely executed, reflecting the hand of a Germanic die-cutter working from a Roman model. The legend surrounding the design is partially legible, with letter forms showing significant debasement from the original Roman prototype. The senatorial authority mark SC appears within or near the legend, referencing the original bronze coinage issued by decree of the Senate. |
