| Reverse description | The emperor Justinian I is portrayed on horseback advancing to the right, brandishing a spear in his raised right hand, in the tradition of the triumphant imperial equestrian type. He is preceded by a personification of Victory advancing left, her head turned back toward the emperor, bearing a palm branch and a trophy. A star occupies the field before the emperor's head, serving as a divine or celestial symbol of imperial authority. The mintmark CONOB appears in the exergue, identifying the coin as struck in Constantinople to the standard of pure gold. The reverse legend encircles the composition, proclaiming the salvation and glory of the Roman people. |
