| Reverse description | Central denomination mark consisting of a large Greek numeral I (representing 10 nummi), flanked on each side by a single pellet, and surmounted by a cross above. The officina letter precedes the CONCORDI legend, which is arranged around the central device. The exergue bears the mint signature ΘYΠOΛS, the Byzantine name for Theopolis (ancient Antioch on the Orontes). The reverse design follows the standard format for decanummia issued from the Antioch mint during the reign of Justinian I, with the harmony legend referencing imperial concordia. |
