| Reverse description | The emperor Justinian I, nimbate and standing facing with head turned to right, depicted in full imperial regalia. In his right hand he holds a spear, while his left hand supports a globus cruciger, symbolizing Christian dominion over the world. A star appears in the right field, and the mint mark COB is placed in the exergue. The reverse legend GLORIA ROMANORVM — 'Glory of the Romans' — runs around the periphery within a beaded border, reflecting the continued Roman imperial ideology of the early Byzantine state. |
