| Reverse description | A cross potent set upon three graduated steps, centrally placed within the field, a design emblematic of the triumph of Christianity as embodied by the Byzantine state. The legend is disposed in two lines across the field, with the mint signature CONOB appearing in the exergue, indicating production at the Constantinople mint to the highest gold standard. An officina mark follows the legend, identifying the specific workshop responsible for striking. The reverse composition is austere and deliberately symbolic, adhering strictly to the established Constantinopolitan solidus type of the period. |
