| Beschrijving keerzijde | Large letter M (the Greek numeral mark of value for 40 nummi) occupies the centre of the field, surmounted by a cross above. The regnal year numeral appears in two lines across the centre of the M, with the letter E (epsilon) visible in the lower centre. To the left and right of the M are the letters A N N O in the field. Below the M, in the exergue, the mint mark CON denotes Constantinople. A dotted border runs along the coin's periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
These issues fall within the most turbulent stretch of Constans II's reign — the years immediately following the Arab conquest of Egypt, which severed Byzantium from its wealthiest province and devastated imperial revenues. The fiscal strain is directly legible in the coinage: flans from this period are frequently underweight, poorly prepared, and struck off-center at rates that dwarf earlier Constantinople production.
BCV 1010 corresponds to a phase when the follis had already shed most of its weight across successive reductions since Justinian. By the 650s the 40-nummi piece was a denomination in name only.
