15-13 mm. 1.72 grams. RIC X, 421, at Constantinople. [This one much excels their plate coin.]
Extremely rare.
In
many years of looking and thousands of catalogs I have seen only three
for sale, the third much worse than either of these two.
13 mm. 6:00. 1.72 grams. DN THEO legible, the rest not. / GLOR ORVIS legible, the rest not. Mintmark mostly off flan and therefore uncertain.
Only for Theodosius II.
