Reverse description Jupiter, nude save for a chlamys draped over his left shoulder, stands facing with head turned slightly, holding a thunderbolt in his outstretched right hand and a long grounded scepter in his left. At his feet to the lower left, an eagle stands facing left with head reverted, holding a laurel wreath in its beak — the traditional symbol of divine sanction conveyed to the emperor. A retrograde Sigma (Σ), serving as a mark of value, appears in the right field. The two-line Latin legend IOVI CONSER-VATORI AVGG frames the scene, invoking Jupiter as Preserver of the Augusti, while the mintmark •SM•TS• is inscribed in the exergue, identifying the Thessalonica mint.
