Comments

(en) The Barbarian engraver replaces the winged Victory from the prototype with the emperor himself.

The exact lettering of the surrounding legend may vary.

The vast majority of Aureus and Quinarius pieces from the Uncertain Germanic tribes are either holed or have a suspension loop attached. This implies that, while these were coins, these imitations were mainly meant for jewelry rather than to be spent.
