No such coin for Galla Placidia had been referenced before Classical Numismatic Group reported this coin. The RIC 2022 for Honoria, speaks in note of coins of this type, explaining that all the coins seen are fake. He also cites Cigoi forgeries (Br 386). I still classified this coin because I linked the reverse to a Honoria coin. it is this coin:

We must still remain cautious before confirming this coin.
On the reverse I noted ''Angel'' in the description. We can also say that this is Victoria but the image of the victory at that time had indeed become that of an angel symbolizing the Christian victory.
