| Reverse description | A prominent Chi-Rho Christogram (the staurogram monogram of Christ) occupies the central field, its radiating arms extending toward the inner border, rendered in bold relief typical of hammered Byzantine gold coinage. A circular Latin legend, VICTORIA AV CONOB, surrounds the Christogram, with CONOB in the lower portion of the field denoting the Constantinople mint and the obryzum (pure gold) standard. The flat, uncluttered field emphasizes the centrality of the Christian symbol. |
