The reverse displays a military standard inscribed with the letters VOT XX arranged in two lines. Two captives are seen sitting back to back below the standard, they both have their hands tied behind their back. The inscription VIRTVS EXERCIT surrounds the image whilst the monograms of S and F fills the left and right field respectively.
