| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a large Greek numeral I (denoting 10 nummi), surmounted by a cross, serving as the principal denomination mark of this reformed coinage introduced under Anastasius I. The officina letter, indicating the fourth workshop (Δ), appears to the left of the mark of value. The Latin legend CONCORDIA precedes the numeral, referencing imperial concord, while the mint signature ANTX appears in the exergue, identifying the Antioch mint. The overall design is consistent with the coinage reform of 512 AD, which introduced large, clearly denominated copper coins for ease of commerce throughout the Byzantine East. |
