CONCORDIA AVGG (408 / 420)

Bust of Theodosius II facing, cuirassed, wearing a helmet with crest and a pearl diadem. Holding a spear passing behind his head with the right hand and a decorated shield with a horseman slaying an enemy, with the left hand.

Constantinopolis seated on a throne with her head to the right, holding a scepter with her right hand and a globe surmounted by a victory with her left hand. Her right foot placed on a prow.

Variant without jewel on the diadem. The same kind of variant observed for Zeno with VICTORIA AVGGG type.

A coin showing the letter D of THEODOSIVS in the shape of a B, letter probably re-engraved. Coin sold the 07/03/2005 by Gorny & Mosch Giessener Münzhandlung, Auction 138, lot 2516, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=214301.

I note this coin whose first letter of AVGG seems to be the letter . Be careful though because the lighting can mislead.

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.

I note this copy with a ''triangle-eyed'' style approaching the Visigothic series of Aquitaine for Zeno:
