| Reverse description | The reverse field bears a bold, four-line Greek inscription arranged in a cruciform or stacked layout, reading ΝΕΑΠΟΛΙΣ (Naples), the Greek toponym for the city. The large, deeply struck capital letters fill the flan in a manner consistent with Byzantine provincial coinage of the late 8th century. The irregular flan edges and relatively plain, unadorned field are characteristic of hammered bronze issues from the Naples Mint during this period. No additional devices or decorative elements are present. |
