A thin, cup-shaped gold coin with irregular, wavy edges and a warm reflective tone. Christ sits enthroned at the center, his face worn, head framed by a barred halo. He holds a book in his left hand while his right arm crosses his chest. A beaded border and Greek script encircle the scene. The hammered surface highlights the detailed posts of the throne and the figure's textured drapery.
