| Reverse description | Central field occupied by the imperial monogram of Anastasius I, composed of interlaced Greek letters forming the emperor's name, enclosed within a linear circle or wreath border. The monogram is boldly struck and dominates the reverse field, with the individual letterforms clearly discernible despite the small module of the coin. This reverse type is characteristic of the nummus issues struck at Constantinople during the early reign of Anastasius I, prior to his monetary reform of 498. The plain field surrounding the monogram bears no additional legend or mint mark, consistent with the anonymous character of this denomination. |
