| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Emperor Theodosius I, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed, rendered in the schematic late antique style typical of the Theodosian period. The effigy is set within a beaded border, with the imperial titulature arranged as a continuous legend encircling the field. The portrait reflects the standardized die-cutting conventions of the Heraclea mint during the 380s. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Victory advancing left, rendered in full figure, bearing a trophy over her right shoulder and dragging a captive enemy behind her with her left hand. The composition conveys Roman military triumph and imperial ideology. The reverse legend SALVS REIPVBLICAE encircles the type, while the exergue carries the Heraclea mint mark (SMHA or SMHB indicating the officina). The overall style is characteristic of the small, heavily patinated late Roman nummi of the Theodosian era. |
