Variant with jewel on the diadem and a modification of the letter N of DN on the obverse. The letter was probably originally an inverted N. The modification gives a result that looks like this: IXI.

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.
