| Reverse description | Sol Invictus, depicted standing facing front with head turned to the right, wearing a chlamys draped and hanging behind his figure, raising his right hand in salutation and holding a globe and whip close to his body in his lowered left hand. The composition conveys the solar deity's divine authority in the customary Tetrarchic iconographic formula. The Latin legend SOLI INVICTO is divided across the field, with the mintmark N_K Y_L XC distributed in and around the exergue. A beaded border frames the entire design. |
