| Reverse description | Facing busts of co-emperors Michael II and Constantine side by side, both depicted frontally in the hieratic Byzantine style. Michael II appears on the left, slightly larger, wearing an imperial crown and loros; Constantine is shown on the right, smaller in scale, also crowned and draped. A patriarchal cross on stepped base appears above between the two figures. The surrounding circular legend reads MIXAHL S COhSTAhTIN, identifying the two co-rulers. |
