VIITORIA AVIVITORVM Victory standing facing, holding globus cruciger in l. hand and wreath in r.; in r. field, star, and in exergue, CONOA. BMC Vandals –. Arslan –. MEC I, –.
Apparently unrecorded. A very intriguing issue, several edge marks,
and slightly bent, otherwise good very fine


Ex Peus sale 348, 1996, 881.
This is an interesting hybrid combination: on the obverse the prototype derives from Heraclius' issues, while the reverse derives from Maurice Tiberius' types.
