| Obverse description | Helmeted and laureate bust of Constantinopolis personified, facing left, draped in imperial mantle, with a reversed spear held in the right hand. The effigy is rendered in the late Roman military style, with a crested helmet characteristic of the Constantinian period. The obverse legend CONSTANTINOPOLI encircles the bust, identifying the personification of the newly founded imperial capital. The portrait displays the strong, idealized features typical of Constantinian mint production, with fine die engraving reflecting the high standards of the Constantinople workshop. |
