| Reverse description | Full-length facing figure of Emperor Alexios I Komnenos depicted in imperial regalia, standing erect in the concave field of the scyphate flan. The emperor is shown wearing a jewelled loros and crown, holding imperial insignia — typically a sceptre or labarum in the right hand and an akakia or globus cruciger in the left. A Greek majuscule inscription in the field identifies the emperor by name and title, reading ΑΛΕΖΙΩ ΔΕCΠΤ (Alexios Despot). The style is characteristic of Komnenian Byzantine imperial portraiture with frontal hieratic presentation. |
