| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a large monogram XX denoting the value of 20 Nummi, rendered in bold strokes. A cross surmounts the numeral at the top of the field, serving as a Christian symbol of imperial authority. The regnal year appears to the right of the numeral. A horizontal line divides the central type from the exergue, which bears the mint mark of Nicomedia. The reverse retains the formal, utilitarian design typical of Byzantine fractional bronze coinage of the Phocas era. |
