Beschrijving voorzijde Frontal facing bust of Emperor Theodosius II, pearl-diademed, helmeted, and cuirassed, turned very slightly to the right in the late Roman imperial military convention. The emperor holds a spear over his right shoulder and bears a shield in his left hand, the shield face decorated with a horseman motif. The effigy is rendered in the formal, hieratic style characteristic of fifth-century Constantinopolitan coinage, with fine detail in the helmet plume and armor. The legend encircles the bust within the coin's field.

Beschrijving keerzijde The enthroned personification of Constantinopolis seated left, with left foot resting upon the prow of a ship, holding a scepter in her left hand and a globus cruciger in her right, a grounded shield at her side. A star appears in the left field, symbolizing divine favor. The mintmark COMOB is inscribed in the exergue, denoting gold coinage struck at the Constantinople mint. The design reflects the majestic, static compositional style of Theodosian court art, emphasizing imperial and civic ideology.
