Theodosius II, Eastern Roman Emperor, Gold Solidus
The obverse of a gold solidus, 4.48 grams, struck at Constantinople in the name of and portraying the Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius II, 402- 450 AD.
His portrait is pretty much generic for this denomination in this era, but much more realistic than most subsequent emperors.
References include RIC 237 which dates the issue to 425- 429.
Purchased from the Peus auction 386; lot 879.
