Obverse lettering d m COSTAN-TINVS PP AI
Reverse description A cross potent set on a stepped base occupies the central field, rendered in bold relief characteristic of Byzantine hammered gold coinage of the late sixth century. The cross form, with its distinctive crosslets at each arm terminal, serves as a powerful statement of imperial Christian authority. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device reading VICTOR TIbERI AVS, with the mint and quality control mark CONOB placed in the lower exergual area, attesting to the coin's Constantinople origin and high gold fineness.
