Small break between the letters E and R of PERP on the obverse. Without being large enough to be noticeable. Generally, many of the solidi of this mint have light spaces on PERP, the spear being often quite long.
These coins are struck at the same time as the coins of Julius Nepos and its recognizable with the marks M D without star.
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.
