VICTORIA AVGGG (2nd reign, 476 / 491, 5th issue)

Bust of Zeno facing, cuirassed, wearing 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.

Variant without jewels on the diadem and over-struck officina letter. ''off corr'' '' off corr '' in the reference indicates that the officina letter has been corrected. I think the officina  is inscribed above the officina H. The orientation is unusual, we see the horizontal bar in the middle of the letter  which is crossed by a vertical line with a kind of very thin line separating the two lines which is probably the starting point for adding the horizontal bar. In addition, the curve of the letter  is not regularly linked to the rest of the letter. An interruption is visible in two places, including a kind of small ball at the top right, like a kind of weld. This is probably the tip of the tool that left this imprint. Showing that this part was inscribed after the rest. It therefore seems almost certain that the original officina letter was: H. Letter to which a curve has been added at one end and a horizontal line to form the new letter.

The coins of the fifth issue are recognizable by style. The face is wider with a long and wide nose. Zeno looking more slightly to the right.

On the reverse, I noted ''Angel'' in the description, we can also say that it is about the Victory, but the image of the victory at that time had indeed become that of an angel symbolizing the Christian victory.
