The two dots '''' which should be inscribed after AVGGG are here inscribed between the last two letters G; which constitutes the variant. In my opinion, this is an engraving error. I noted this in the description of the reverse and noted it in the mark as well, although its position is in the legend. No information given on a legend break on the reverse, I noted a default break.
The coins from this mint have a recognizable style. Zeno's eyes are represented by two balls. This coin is part of an exception to the rule. The reverse fits perfectly with the style of this mint, although this reverse style is very close to that of the Roma mint. This mint of Roma having an obverse of a more neat style and closer to that of Constantinople.
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.
