| Obverse description | Right-facing draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Theodosius I, adorned with a pearl diadem rendered in the characteristic late Roman style of clustered spherical beads. The imperial effigy is portrayed with finely engraved wavy hair, a short beard, and a paludamentum fastened at the shoulder. A beaded inner border and a serrated outer border frame the portrait, with the Latin legend DIV N THEODO-SIVS P F AVG disposed around the periphery of the field. |

| Reverse description | Two enthroned emperors seated facing, their left legs bare in the classical tradition, jointly holding an orb symbolising universal dominion; the emperor to the right grasps a mappa in his left hand. A winged Victory stands erect behind them with wings fully outspread, crowning or supporting the imperial pair. A palm branch appears in the lower field, and the mintmark is inscribed in the exergue. The legend VICTOR-IA AVGG runs across the reverse field, proclaiming the victory of the two August emperors. |
