| Reverse description | Seated frontal figure of Constantinopolis, the personification of the imperial capital, helmeted and draped, enthroned with head turned to the right. She holds a sceptre upright in her right hand and a Victory standing on a globe in her left hand, with her right foot resting upon a ship's prow, symbolising naval dominance. The composition is characteristic of the late Roman solidus tradition, combining regal authority with allegory. The mintmark CONOB appears in the exergue, identifying the Constantinople mint and confirming the coin's full-weight fine gold standard. The reverse legend CONCORDI-A AVGG encircles the design, invoking the harmony of the Augusti. |
