A Roman gold solidus of Arcadius, contemporary copy, c.383-408 AD. Reverse: CONCORDI-A AVGGGe, Constantinopolis seated facing, head right, holding sceptre and Victory on globe, foot on prow.

Roger Bland and Sam Moorhead (PAS/British Museum) have examined the coin and suggest that this is probably a contemporary copy of an official solidus of Arcadius.
