It was astute of you to pick up on that. It does seem singular in that respect. Victory also appears to rather unnecessarily impinge upon the periphery where the legend would be placed. I wonder if the device as a whole was originally intended for a larger coin, and despite being oversized was nevertheless adapted for use with this smaller flan.
