| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing bust of Emperor Zeno, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed, rendered in the late antique imperial style typical of fifth-century Eastern Roman coinage. The effigy displays the characteristic stiff, frontal treatment of drapery folds over the cuirass. The surrounding Latin legend reads D N ZENON PE AVG, abbreviated from Dominus Noster Zeno Perpetuus Augustus, affirming the emperor's divine and perpetual sovereignty. The strike is characteristically shallow and irregular, consistent with the small-module nummus denomination of this period. The coin's surface shows heavy patination obscuring fine details of the bust. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the imperial monogram of Zeno (monogram type 4) prominently centered within a laurel wreath, a design emblematic of the later fifth-century Eastern Roman nummus coinage. The monogram, composed of interlocking Greek and Latin letters forming the name ZHNON, is clearly legible within the decorative wreath border visible in the image. No additional legend or exergual inscription accompanies the monogram, a common feature of this simplified small bronze denomination. The wreath border is rendered as a double circular line enclosing the central device, consistent with RIC X 961. The overall execution reflects the debased and schematised die-cutting characteristic of late fifth-century Constantinople mint production. |
