| Reverse description | The reverse field bears four lines of Greek inscription arranged horizontally across the coin, invoking the Theotokos in supplication on behalf of the emperor Constantine Doukas. The text reads: + ΘKЄR / ΘKΩΝ / ΔЄCΠΟ / ΤΗ, a formulaic invocation meaning 'Mother of God, aid thy servant Constantine, Despot.' The lettering is executed in bold, upright Byzantine majuscules characteristic of the mid-eleventh century. A horizontal line separates the first line of text from the remainder. A second piercing hole is visible at the bottom of the flan. |
