| Reversbeschreibung | Large Greek letter M (mark of value for 40 nummi) dominates the centre of the reverse field, surmounted by a cross. To the left of the M appears the regnal year notation (ANNO followed by the year numeral), and to the right the officina letter. In the exergue, the mint mark KYZ identifies the Cyzicus mint. The overall layout follows the standard Byzantine follis reverse design established under Anastasius I, with the denomination mark flanked by dating and officinal references. |

Justin II ruled during one of Byzantium's most pressured decades — the Avars were consolidating along the Danube, the Lombards had just seized northern Italy in 568, and Sassanid tensions would eventually collapse the eastern truce entirely by 572. Aelia Sophia, his wife, appears on the coinage not as ceremonial decoration but as a genuine political actor; contemporary sources credit her with negotiating directly with the Avars when Justin's mental health deteriorated sharply in the 570s, effectively conducting diplomacy in his name.
Cyzicus, on the Propontis, was one of the more active provincial mints of the reign. The workshop officina letters on this type allow reasonably precise sequencing within the 567–578 bracket.
