Description
Follis from Uncertain barbarous city. Issued from 337 to 340. Struck in Bronze. Measures 13 mm and weighs 0.95 g.
- Obverse
- Diademed, mantled bust left (Seemingly meaningless, but appears to be a mirror image (as does the bust, perhaps due to the way it was taken from the official coin). Theodora's Trier coins (minted 337-340) have the legend FL MAX THEO-DORAE AVG (Flavia Maximiana Theodora Augusta), which seems to be what CIHHO-O AIIG is copying)
- Reverse
- Victory standing on prow wings outspread, holding spear with right hand and leaning on shield with left hand. Palm-branch in left field and mintmark in exergue (As with the obverse, the reverse legend is mirrored. Backwards, this is TRS for Trier, a common mint for Theodora's coins)
