Reverse description Large numeral M (the Greek numeral for 40, here denoting 10 nummi in the decanummium denomination) occupies the central field, surmounted by a cross above the numeral. Below the M appears the officina letter, which may be A, B, Γ, Δ, or ϵ depending on the specific specimen. The mint signature CON, denoting Constantinople, is inscribed in the exergue beneath the denomination mark. A dotted or beaded border encircles the reverse design. The surfaces show moderate to heavy patination and surface corrosion typical of bronze Byzantine small change of this period.
