| Beschrijving voorzijde | Frontal bust of the emperor Theodosius II, helmeted and diademed, wearing imperial cuirass and paludamentum, facing slightly to the right in the manner of late Roman imperial portraiture. The emperor holds a spear over his right shoulder and a shield decorated with a horseman motif on his left arm. The effigy is rendered in the characteristically simplified, stylized manner of a Germanic barbarous imitation, with flattened facial features and schematic rendering of the armor. The surrounding field bears a blundered Latin legend reading DN THEDOO-VIS P I AVC, a corrupted derivative of the standard Theodosian obverse inscription DN THEODOSIVS PF AVG, enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The figure of Victory or Constantinople personified stands facing left, helmeted and draped, holding a long staff or scepter surmounted by a globus cruciger in the right hand and a Victory statuette on an orb in the left hand, in imitation of the standard Theodosian solidus reverse type. A large cross on steps or Latin cross appears to the left of the figure. The surrounding legend is a blundered rendition of the votive inscription VOT XXXXZ NVLT XXXX, with a delta-shaped control mark and the mint mark CONOB in the exergue, the latter copied directly from the Constantinople mint prototype to signal gold fineness, despite being a barbarous imitation. The execution reflects the Germanic die-cutter's imperfect familiarity with the Latin script, resulting in garbled and retrograde letterforms throughout. |
