| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a large Greek numeral I (denoting 10 nummi) surmounted by a small cross, serving as the denomination mark introduced by Anastasius I's currency reform of 498 AD. An officina letter appears to the left of the numeral, identifying the workshop of production. The Latin mint abbreviation CON appears in the exergue, denoting the Constantinople mint. The surrounding field carries the legend CONCORD, referencing imperial concord, within a beaded border. The bold, utilitarian design is emblematic of the Anastasian monetary reform coinage. |
