Reverse description The reverse displays a large monogram composed of the Greek letters C (lunate sigma) and N — denoting the value of 250 nummi — prominently occupying the central field. A small cross or decorative device appears above the monogram at the apex of the encircling laurel wreath. The entire design is contained within a finely detailed laurel wreath tied at the base, a classical motif reflecting the numismatic traditions inherited from the late Roman period. The field is plain, focusing all visual emphasis on the bold value monogram.
