| Reverse description | Central field bears the monogram of Emperor Leo I, a device commonly employed on Vandal nummi struck in the name of the Eastern emperor at the Carthage mint. The monogram is boldly rendered and constitutes the sole decorative element of the reverse, set within a plain, unstruck field on a roughly circular, irregular flan. The simplicity of the design reflects the utilitarian nature of this small bronze denomination in late antique North African coinage. |
