Obverse Theodosius II, called "the Calligrapher", was Roman emperor from 402 to 450. He was proclaimed Augustus as an infant and ruled as the Eastern Empire's sole emperor after the death of his father Arcadius in 408

Reverse: Constantine the Great, was a Roman emperor from AD 306 to 337. Constantinopolis served as the capital of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, the Latin Empire, and the Ottoman Empire. 

Meaning of: "AV" is an abbreviation from Latin “Aurum,” meaning gold. "Solidus" means "solid" in Latin, referring to the pure gold used to make the coin.

The fineness of a "solidus" in this period of Theodosius II rule was still 99% gold.

As time went on, the gold content in solidi gradually decreased. During the reign of Alexios I Komnenos (1081-1118), the solidus was phased out and replaced by the Hyperpyron, a gold coin made with 85% gold.

INFO:

The solidus, a remarkable artefact from Ancient Roman Byzantine period, held immense purchasing power, allowing one to acquire up to 10 bushels or 30-40 bundles of wheat in bustling local markets—a testament to its significance in the economy of the time. Today, the value of owning a solidus has only grown, as it was originally worth an astounding 275,000 denarii and crafted from 4.5 grams of pure 24kt gold, which is a striking aspect that collectors and investors alike find irresistible. The very name "solidus," meaning "solid" in Latin, reflects the coin's intrinsic value, stemming from its high gold content. This historical connection offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of currency, inviting modern numismatists and enthusiasts to appreciate the craftsmanship and economic principles that have transcended time. At Randburg Coin, we celebrate this rich heritage and encourage you to delve deeper into the captivating world of collectible coins, drawing parallels between past and present monetary systems while fostering a newfound appreciation for these ancient coins.
