| Reverse description | A winged Victory advancing to the right with head turned back to the left, executed in the classical tradition inherited from late Roman coinage. She carries a wreath in her left hand and a globus cruciger — a cross mounted upon an orb — in her right, emblematic of Christian imperial sovereignty. A star occupies the right field, a standard apotropaic device on early Byzantine tremisses. The exergual inscription CONOB attests to the Constantinopolitan mint and guarantees the canonical fineness of the gold, conforming to the established formula of Byzantine imperial gold coinage throughout this period. |
