| Obverse description | Helmeted, pearl-diademed, and cuirassed frontal bust of Emperor Theodosius II, facing directly forward in the late antique imperial manner. The emperor wears an elaborately decorated crested helmet adorned with pearls, a heavily ornamented cuirass with pteryges, and a paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder. His right hand is raised holding a spear behind his head, while his left arm bears a decorated shield visible at the lower left. The portrait conveys imperial authority through its rigid, hieratic frontality, characteristic of early fifth-century Constantinopolitan solidus coinage. The circular Latin legend D N THEODO-SIVS P F AVG runs along the periphery of the field. |
