Reverse description A bold Latin cross with a pellet at each arm terminal occupies the central field, set within a closed laurel wreath tied at the base. The wreath is rendered with detailed berry and leaf motifs, encircling the cross in a composed, symmetrical arrangement. The Latin mint control mark COMOB appears in the exergue below the wreath, indicating gold of the highest fineness struck at the imperial mint. The overall composition is characteristic of late Roman tremissis reverse types, emphasizing Christian symbolism within a classical decorative frame.
