VICTORIA AVGGG (476 / 477 then 480 / 491)

Bust of Zeno facing, cuirassed, wearing a 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.

This is most likely the same variant as the AYC # 31, RIC 3629. The only difference is that the cross located after AVGGG on the reverse is misrepresented. I noted  to illustrate the overall shape. 

The RIC X mentionned page 445 in note of n°3629 et 3630, an obverse die ink.Observable link in the two photos plate 74. Source of the n°3629: British museum (listed AYC #31, RIC 3629).

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 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.
