A coin seems (the photo is too small to be analyzed) to have the CONOB mark with a dot on each side and one under the letter N... Like the Thessaloniki mark? or defects on the coin? Is the officina letter engraved above another letter?

Variant with jewel on the diadem. The same kind of variant observed for Zeno with VICTORIA AVGGG type.

This series differs from the previous one by the presence of the star on the left on the reverse and a normal size bust. As for Zeno, we notice a finer portrait of the first years (397 / 402), while the portraits of the following series will become wider and Theodosius II will look more to the right, even if mixtures exist from 402. There is a wide variety of portrait styles for this series spanning many years.
