| Obverse description | Helmeted, pearl-diademed, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Honorius in three-quarter face to right, rendered in the hieratic late Roman imperial style. The cuirass bears the Chi-Rho (☧) Christogram. The emperor holds a spear diagonally over his right shoulder and supports on his left arm a large round shield decorated with an equestrian scene depicting a mounted warrior trampling a fallen foe. The encircling legend D N HONORI-VS P F AVG, expanding to 'Dominus Noster Honorius Pius Felix Augustus,' frames the imperial effigy. |

| Reverse description | The enthroned personification of Concordia, assimilated to the figure of Constantinopolis, is depicted facing with head turned to the right, wearing helmet and imperial robes. In her right hand she holds a long scepter, while her left hand presents a Victory standing on a globe; her right foot rests upon a ship's prow, a conventional symbol of naval dominion. A star occupies the left field. The legend CONCORDIA AVGGG, alluding to the concord of the three reigning Augusti, surrounds the figure, and the mintmark COMOB in the exergue denotes the Thessalonica mint and gold of the highest fineness. |
