| Reverse description | A tall cross potent with a Christogram (⳨) monogram at its apex occupies the center of the field, flanked by two six-pointed stars in the left and right fields. A globus or small orb is positioned beneath the cross at the base, symbolizing imperial and Christian dominion. The entire central device is encircled by a wreath border, rendered as stylized laurel branches framing the design — a characteristic feature of Ravennate half-siliquae under Justinian I. The reverse field is slightly worn but the main devices remain distinct, consistent with the small module and irregular flan of this hammered denomination. |
