| Reverse description | A bold cross pattée occupies the central field, its arms extending nearly to the border, evoking both Christian symbolism and the Roman military tradition. The cross is surrounded by a laurel or olive wreath rendered in relief, with individual leaves arranged symmetrically around the circumference. The overall design is simple and centralised, typical of the late Vandal nummus series struck at Carthage. The wreath terminates at the base with a binding knot, and the beaded border frames the entire composition. |
