| Beschrijving voorzijde | Imperial monogram of Justin II (Sear type 9) occupying the central field, rendered in the characteristic interlaced cruciform style of Byzantine copper coinage. The monogram combines the Greek letters of the emperor's name into a single elaborate device, with a small cross surmounting the composition. The die is crudely executed, typical of the provincial mint at Antioch during this period, and the flan is irregular in shape with a granular, oxidized copper surface. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Large Greek epsilon (Ε) dominating the central field, denoting the denomination of 5 Nummi; a small Latin cross positioned to the right of the epsilon. The design is boldly struck, with the epsilon rendered in a broad, open form characteristic of Antiochene mint output under Justin II. The flan edges are uneven, consistent with hammered provincial coinage of the late sixth century. No exergual inscription or additional legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Justin II's small copper denominations from Antioch are among the more historically loaded objects in late Byzantine numismatics — the mint was operating under sustained pressure from Sasanian raids throughout this period, and Antioch itself had been sacked by Khosrow I in 540, never fully recovering its earlier commercial dominance. The decision to continue striking there reflects administrative stubbornness as much as practical necessity.
The 5 nummi was the lowest practical denomination in circulation, and Antioch issues consistently show rougher fabric than Constantinople equivalents — a product of the mint's reduced resources and intermittent operation during the reign.
