| Obverse description | Frontal helmeted bust of Emperor Honorius, pearl-diademed and cuirassed, presented in the imposing three-quarter facing style characteristic of late Roman imperial portraiture. The emperor holds a spear diagonally behind his head in his raised right hand, while his left arm supports a large shield adorned with a horseman motif in relief. The obverse legend arcs around the bust, reading D N HONORI-VS P F AVG, identifying him as Dominus Noster Honorius, Pius Felix Augustus. |

| Reverse description | The enthroned personification of Constantinopolis occupies the reverse field, depicted helmeted and draped in a frontal pose with her head turned to the right. She holds a long sceptre in her right hand and a Victory standing on a globe in her left, while her right foot rests upon the prow of a ship, symbolising naval dominion. The reverse legend CONCORDI-A AVGG celebrates the concordia between the two Augusti, with the officina letter H appearing in the field and the mint control mark CONOB placed in the exergue, denoting gold of the highest fineness struck at Constantinople. |
