Photo of a coin sold the 05/12/2002 by Numismatica Ars Classica, Auction 24, lot 363, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=117756, link to their website: https://www.arsclassicacoins.com/. This is the copy illustrated in the RIC X plate 72, n°3405.

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. 

The two dots noted on the right of the mark below, are positioned after AVGGG.
