Although the circulation of the coin has erased some of his face and some details of the Victory on the reverse, it is still very well preserved! With the strike very well centred, we can still admire the details of Zeno's cuirass and the cavalier depicted on his shield, as well as the very precise details of the Victory's wing! \r\nA very interesting detail is the Greek letter Π to the right of the emperor, which could be an initial from one of the owners of this coin to signify his ownership! It was not uncommon, particularly in the army, to countermark your coins (generally in precious metal) to avoid theft, and here we have perhaps the trace of a person wanting to signify the possession of this coin!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"headCaption\"\u003eD N ZENO - PERP AVG\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"reverseCaption\"\u003eVICTORI-A AVGGG I \/\/ CONOB\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"weight\"\u003e4.47 gr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cdma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470512144716,"sku":"1179827","price":799.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1655\/7029\/files\/1179827A.jpg?v=1728291360","url":"https:\/\/www.numiscorner.com\/products\/1179827-zeno-solidus-474-491-constantinople-gold-au-50-53-ric-x-910","provider":"Numiscorner.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
