| Reverse description | Large denomination mark M (denoting 40 nummi) dominates the reverse field, surmounted by a cross. To the left of the M, the inscription ANNO is arranged vertically, with the regnal year numeral XVI (year 16) appearing to the right, occasionally accompanied by a star beneath. The officina letter appears below the M, identifying the workshop responsible for striking the coin. In the exergue, the mint signature CHЄЧPO identifies Theopolis (Antioch on the Orontes), the issuing mint. The reverse layout conforms to the standard Justinianic follis type established by the currency reform of 498. |
