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.

An angel standing left, holding a long latin cross decorated with jewels. Behind her on the right, a star.

Coin illustrated in the RIC X, plate 72, n°3416, source: Dumbarton Oaks.

Variant with the letter V linked to the letter A of AVG on the obverse. I notice that the coin shown does not appear to have the two dots in front of AVGGG on the reverse. Is this a separate strike? Can we place it before the strike with the two points in front of AVGG? While waiting to confirm the absence of these dots which may be due to a bad photo, blocked die .. wear, I list this coin after the striking with the two dots. But it is very unlikely that these dots are gone.

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.
