Reverse description Large Greek letter K (kappa), serving as the denomination mark for 20 nummi, dominates the central field. A cross potent is positioned to the left of the K, and a small six-pointed star or asterisk appears in the upper right field above the K. An officina letter appears in the lower right field, identifying the mint workshop. The design is stark and functional, typical of Anastasian small-module half-follis coinage, with minimal decorative elements and a plain field.
