Reverse description A prominent cross potent or ankh-like cross stands in the central field, enclosed within a wreath of laurel or palm fronds that frames the entire design in a circular arrangement, as clearly visible on the coin image. The wreath is rendered in a stylized, slightly barbarous manner consistent with Suebi imitative tremisses. The reverse legend COH appears in the field, referencing the purity of the gold and its Constantinopolitan prototype. The overall reverse composition closely imitates late Roman imperial tremissis types struck at Constantinople in the name of Honorius.
