| Reverse description | The reverse displays a votive inscription in three lines within a laurel wreath, a design derived from late Roman votive coin types. The wreath, tied at the base, encloses the three-line legend in bold, well-spaced capital letters. The formula VOT MVLT HTI represents an abbreviated votive acclamation, expressing wishes for the emperor's continued reign. The field outside the wreath is plain, and the overall style is consistent with Byzantine hammered siliquae struck at Constantinople. |
