Theodosius II, Eastern Roman Emperor, Gold Solidus
A gold solidus, 4.46 grams, struck at Constantinople in the name of and portraying the Roman emperor Theodosius II, 402- 450 AD.
References include RIC X, 202, which dates this issue to between 408 (the death of his father Arcadius) and 420 (the death of his uncle Honorius).
The reverse lauds the Concord between Theodosius in the East and his uncle and co-emperor, Honorius in Italy. Theoretically, both emperors had equal authority throughout the entire empire. The coin shows evidence of overstriking or double striking.
