What a strange depiction on the reverse. I wonder what it means? It is a depiction of the goddess Roma (you can see her name on the right edge of the coin) holding a figure of the god, Nike (Victory).

Was curious too. Apparently, that is Roma, a female deity personifying Rome. In one hand, she’s holding a globe with the goddess Victoria (personifying victory) on it and in the other hand, a scepter/spear.
