| 背面描述 | Central field bearing the Greek numeral Epsilon (E), denoting the denomination of 5 nummi, flanked by two pellets or decorative elements on either side. The letter is boldly struck within a plain border, consistent with the standard reverse type for pentanummia struck at the Constantinopolitan mint under Justin I. The mint mark, partially visible in the exergue, references the Constantinopolis officina. The surface shows green and ochre patination with moderate wear. |

Justin I came to power in 518 with no formal education and, by most accounts, limited literacy — a fact that made his nephew Justinian's administrative role almost immediately indispensable. The small bronze nummi of his early reign were struck as Constantinople's mint recalibrated following Anastasius I's sweeping currency reform of 498, which had introduced the large follis and restructured the entire bronze hierarchy. The 5 nummi occupied the lowest practical tier of that system.
BCV#74 attributions for this type frequently show significant die wear, a known characteristic of the Constantinopolitan small bronze output in this period.
