| Reverse description | The personification of Constantinople (Constantinopolis) seated facing right on a throne, depicted as a winged Victory wearing a helmet and long draped robes. She holds a globus cruciger surmounted by a cross in her right hand and rests her left hand on a sceptre. The figure is rendered in a stately, hieratic style characteristic of late antique coinage. The circular legend NOVA SPES RES PVBLICAE (New Hope of the Republic) surrounds the central type, with the mint mark CONOB in the exergue, denoting a solidus struck at Constantinople to the standard weight. |
