Obverse description Pearl-diademed, helmeted, and cuirassed bust of Theodosius I facing right, draped with a paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder. The emperor wears a richly decorated muscled cuirass and is depicted with fine, close-cropped hair beneath an elaborate pearl diadem. The obverse legend encircles the effigy in Latin capitals, reading clockwise from the left field. The portrait is rendered in the late antique military style characteristic of the Theodosian solidus series, with pronounced facial features and meticulous detail in the armor and imperial regalia.
