| Reverse description | A plain cross potent set at the centre of the field, enclosed within a laureate wreath rendered in the late antique style with stylized leaf sprays tied at the base. The cross surmounts a small globus or step, a device emblematic of Christian imperial ideology in late Roman coinage. The mint control inscription COMOB appears in the lower field or exergue, serving as the combined mint and officina mark for Mediolanum. The overall composition is bold and schematic, characteristic of the debased artistic conventions employed at western mints during the final decades of the Western Roman Empire. |
