VICTORIA AVGGG

Bust of Romulus Augustus facing, cuirassed, wearing a helmet with crest and a pearl diadem. Holding a spear passing behind his head with the right hand and a decorated shield with a horseman slaying an enemy, with the left hand.

Victoria (Angel) standing left, holding a long cross decorated with jewels. Behind her on the right, a star.

Coin illustrated in the RIC X plate 72, n°3421, source: museum of fine arts of Boston.

I notice that the obverse die is the same as that of the coin classified AYC# 1 var, RIC -. The letters are badly inscribed and sometimes linked together.

I noted AC at the end of the obverse legend, as the books do. One can also say AG, because all the letters G are in the form of C one should thus also say AVCC on the reverse ... This notation AC makes it possible to differentiate the legends where the letters G are correctly inscribed.

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.
