Reverse description Central monogram composed of interlaced letters, most likely a Theoderic royal monogram, surmounted by a cross at the apex. The monogram is flanked by a wreath-like or serrated border encircling the entire reverse field. A small circular motif (annulet) appears below the monogram at the base of the field. The overall design closely follows the reverse type of contemporary Ostrogothic and Byzantine quarter-siliqua issues struck at Sirmium, with the monogram serving as the principal identifying device of Theoderic's authority.
