Reverse description The reverse is dominated by a large M (denoting 40 nummi) centrally placed within the field, flanked by a cross to the left and a star to the right; a cross surmounts the M above. The mint name ROMA appears in the exergue below, and the entire design is enclosed within a decorative wreath border. This arrangement is characteristic of the Rome mint follis issues of Justinian I, distinguishing them from Constantinopolitan and other Eastern mint productions.
