| Reverse description | The reverse features the large denomination mark M (denoting 40 nummi) prominently centered in the field, flanked on either side by a six-pointed star. A cross is positioned above the M, serving as a Christian symbol of imperial authority. Below the M appears the officina letter indicating the specific workshop of production, and the mint mark CON is inscribed in the exergue, denoting the Constantinople mint. The composition is stark and functional, reflecting the reformed coinage introduced by Anastasius I in 498 AD to standardize Byzantine bronze denominations. |
