| Reverse description | The reverse features the large Greek numeral M (denoting 40 nummi), flanked symmetrically by a star on each side, with a cross above the M and the Greek letter Δ surmounted by a small circle positioned beneath it. The exergue carries the mint mark NIC, identifying the Nicomedia mint. The bold, centralised M dominates the field in the manner established by the Anastasian monetary reform of 498, serving as an unambiguous denomination indicator. The overall composition is balanced and formal, typical of Byzantine follis-series coinage of this period. |
