Each holds a mappa in the right hand and a cruciform scepter in the left, emblems of consular and imperial authority. A star appears in the upper field between the two figures, symbolizing divine favour. The officina letter is positioned to the right of center in the exergue, followed by the mint mark CONOB, denoting gold of the Constantinople mint refined to the highest standard. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Theodosius II came to the throne at age seven in 408 and ruled for over four decades under a succession of regents and powerful ministers — most notably his sister Pulcheria, who effectively governed the eastern court through much of the 420s. This issue falls squarely within that period, when the western throne was simultaneously occupied by Valentinian III, a child emperor installed in 425 with considerable eastern military backing. The solidus weight standard held firm throughout; Theodosius's mint administration was one of the more disciplined of the fifth century.
