| Reverse description | The personification of Constantinopolis seated facing, enthroned and helmeted, draped in imperial robes, holding a long cross-sceptre in her right hand and a globus cruciger in her left. A six-pointed star appears to the left of the throne in the field. The figure is depicted in a majestic, frontal hieratic style characteristic of late Roman imperial coinage. The circular legend IMP XXXXII COS XVII P P surrounds the central type, and the exergue bears the mint mark CONOB, indicating gold of the highest purity struck at Constantinople. |
