Comments
Second reform large module coinage. The emission began with the monetary reform in 512 and ended at the latest in 518 with the death of Anastasius.
The decanummia of the second reform were struck to a theoretical weight standard of 2.27g or 1/144th of a Roman pound.
Legend varieties exist, but are all based on the base form of “D N ANASTASIVS PP AVG”
