| Reverse description | The radiate figure of Sol Invictus stands facing left, his chlamys draped across his left shoulder, his right hand raised in salutation and his left hand holding a globe, symbolising universal dominion. The composition is framed by the divided legend across the fields, with the mintmark PLN placed in the exergue identifying the London mint. The reverse type reflects Constantine I's early devotion to Sol Invictus as imperial companion before the full transition to Christian iconography. The letters S and P appear divided across the left and right fields respectively, serving as officina or workshop markers. |
