| Reverse description | A draped female figure, personifying Spes (Hope), stands facing left in the center of the field, rendered in the schematic late antique style typical of Constantinian bronze coinage. She cradles two infants, one in each arm, referencing Fausta's role as mother of imperial heirs and the promise of dynastic continuity. The divided reverse legend SPES REIP-VBLICAE encircles the type, and the mintmark SMNB appears in the exergue, denoting the second officina of the Nicomedia mint. |
