COMOB
Coin illustrated in the RIC X plate 71, n°3403, source: private collection.
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.
