| Reverse description | Two imperial figures stand facing in full-length portrait: at left, Emperor Andronicus II Palaeologus, and at right, co-emperor Michael IX, each crowned and robed in imperial loros. Between them they jointly hold a labarum staff, symbolizing shared sovereignty. The legend commences at the left, reading from approximately the 9 o'clock position, with the abbreviated imperial names and titles distributed around the field. The composition is a standard Palaeologan joint-sovereignty type reflecting the co-regency coinage tradition of the period. |
