Reverse description Central field dominated by a large bold numeral V (denoting 5 nummi), flanked on either side by a six-pointed star at mid-height, all executed in a plain, functional style. A horizontal line separates the central device from the exergue, which bears the mint abbreviation CAT for Catania. The design is unadorned beyond these elements, consistent with the utilitarian character of small-denomination Byzantine copper coinage struck at provincial mints.
