| Reverse description | The reverse displays the large Greek numeral M (denoting 40 nummi, equivalent to one follis) as the dominant central device, flanked by a star to the left and a cross to the right, with a decorative cross above the M. Beneath the M appears the officina letter (ranging from A through Γ), sometimes accompanied by a pellet, identifying the specific workshop within the Carthage mint responsible for the issue. The mint signature KART occupies the exergue, affirming production at Carthage in North Africa. The overall reverse layout follows the standard reformed follis format introduced by Anastasius I, adapted here for the Carthaginian provincial mint under Justinian I. |
