| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a large Greek numeral I (denoting 10 nummi), flanked on either side by a six-pointed star. The mint name ROMA appears in the exergue beneath, sometimes found in retrograde on this issue. The entire device is enclosed within a decorative wreath border, a standard compositional formula for the Rome mint decanummium under Justinian I. The reverse design is bold and functional, emphasizing the denomination clearly for everyday commercial use. |
