| Obverse description | Frontal crowned and cuirassed bust of Emperor Mauricius Tiberius, depicted facing the viewer in the characteristic late Byzantine imperial style. The emperor holds a globus cruciger in his right hand and a shield in his left, the latter decorated and partially visible at the shoulder. The legend D N TIB MAVRICI P is inscribed around the bust, identifying the ruler in abbreviated Latin. The struck surfaces are irregular, as is typical of hammered coinage from the Carthage mint of this period. |

| Reverse description | Central large K denomination mark flanked by two stars to either side, serving as the principal design element denoting the value of 20 Nummi. Above the K appears a cross with the letters N and M to its left and right respectively, referencing the numismatic value notation. The exergue bears the indiction date IND III, corresponding to the third indiction year and helping to date this issue to 584 AD. The overall arrangement is typical of Carthaginian mint practice under Mauricius Tiberius, with the denomination letter prominently centered in the field. |
