Reverse description Salus, personification of Safety and Well-being of the State, stands facing left in long draped robes, cradling two infants to her breast in an iconic gesture of imperial fecundity and dynastic hope. The figure is rendered in a stiff, late antique style typical of Constantinian bronze coinage. The mintmark SMTSB appears in the exergue, identifying the emission as the second officina of the Thessalonica mint. The reverse legend encircles the central type within a beaded border.
