| Obverse lettering | +ΚωΝ βΑϹΙΛΕΥϹ Ο ΔΟΥΚ (Translation: Constantine King Ducas) |
| Reverse description | Facing bust of Christ Pantokrator, nimbate with a cruciform nimbus, depicted in the characteristic Byzantine frontal style. Christ raises his right hand in a gesture of benediction and holds the Gospels in his left hand. The Greek inscription divided across the field renders the Emmanuelic epithet and the Christological monogram IC XC (Jesus Christ). The dotted border frames the composition, and the overall style is consistent with the anonymous follis tradition carried into the Doukas dynasty coinage. |
