VICTORIA AVGGG

Bust of Aelia zenonis to the right, draped, wearing a diadem of pearls, a necklace of pearls and long earrings. Above, the hand of God crowning her.

An angel standing left and holding a long Latin cross adorned with jewels. A star on the right of the angel.

One coin sold the 12/01/2009 by Stacks, The Golden Horn Collection, lot 3042, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=566731.

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. I note that this character is probably also a representation of the Empress in the guise of the angel. Indeed, the character often wears the same double pearl diadem and the clothes are decorated like those of Aelia Zenonis. I have noticed many times that on the coinage of various Empresses the character on the reverse is depicted as the Empress.
