40 Nummi

Obverse description	Helmeted and draped bust of Roma facing right, wearing a crested helmet in the Roman imperial tradition. The effigy is encircled by the Latin legend INVICTA ROMA (Unconquered Rome). The portraiture reflects the late antique civic coinage tradition of the Ostrogothic period, executed in a bold but somewhat schematic style characteristic of hammered issues struck at Rome during the late 5th and early 6th centuries. The rendering is notably provincial in finish, consistent with the administrative continuity maintained by Ostrogothic authorities over the Roman civic mint.

Reverse description	Eagle standing facing with wings displayed, rendered in a bold, schematic late antique style typical of Ostrogothic civic coinage. The value mark XL, denoting 40 nummi, appears in the left field. An officina letter, when present, is positioned below the eagle in the lower field. The design is spare and uncluttered, with the eagle as the sole principal device occupying the central field against a plain flan.
