| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed and draped bust of the Augusta Aelia Eudocia facing right, with nimbus encircling the head, lending an imperial and sacred character to the effigy. Above the bust, the Manus Dei — the divine Hand of God — descends from the upper field, a motif expressing celestial legitimacy and imperial favour. The obverse legend is disposed on either side of the portrait in Latin characters. The fine hammered workmanship typical of the Constantinopolitan mint is evident in the careful rendering of the diadem pearls and drapery folds. |
