| Reversbeschreibung | Large numeral I, denoting the denomination of 10 nummi (decanummium), surmounted by a cross and typically flanked by pellets on either side, occupying the central field. The officina letter appears to the left of the central device, with the legend CONCORD arranged around the field. The mint signature CON appears in the exergue, identifying the Constantinople mint. The design follows the reformed coinage module introduced by Anastasius I in 498 AD, with bold, easily legible denominational markings. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Anastasius I's currency reform of 498 AD is one of the most consequential monetary decisions in Byzantine history. The previous coinage had collapsed into a chaotic mess of tiny, uninscribed nummi so debased in value that market transactions had become nearly unworkable. The reform reintroduced clearly denominated large-module bronze coins — including the 10-nummi piece — with explicit value marks, the first time Roman or Byzantine bronze coinage had been marked this way in centuries.
Constantinople's mint received the reform first, making early Constantinopolitan issues the prototype against which all provincial output was measured.
