Numéro :

one coin referenced in the RIC X, n°27. Source: Drouot (florange, Ciani), 14 to 15 June 1923 (Godart). To be confirmed.

The reference is written with ''off var'' because the officina letter Z is inverted.

This series is characterized by a large bust. As for Zeno, we notice a finer portrait on 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.
