| Reverse description | The central device consists of a large Greek letter H (denoting 8 nummi) flanked on either side by the letters A and P at a smaller scale, indicating the officina and mint attribution. The Christogram ⳨ (Rho-Tau cross) appears above the H, serving as a religious invocation characteristic of Justinianic bronze coinage. An exergual line is sometimes present beneath the central group. The composition is stark and functional, with the denomination dominating the reverse field in accordance with the reformed Anastasian-Justinianic coinage system. |
