| Reverse description | Two facing bust figures depicted in low relief within the field, rendered in the schematic Byzantine style typical of anonymous tetartera of the Nicaean period. The left figure, likely Christ or a holy personage, is shown frontally with a nimbus, while the right figure, possibly the Virgin Mary or a military saint, holds an upright staff or sceptre. No surrounding legend is present, consistent with the anonymous character of this denomination. The flan edges are irregular and scalloped, and the strike is somewhat weak and off-centre, as is common for this type. |
