Comment
Uncertain MintInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Anastasius I Dicorus, who was the Byzantine Emperor from 498 to 518 AD. During his reign, the Byzantine Empire was known for its military conquests, its cultural achievements, and its religious reforms. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 1.05 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. Additionally, the coin features an image of the emperor on one side and an image of the Virgin Mary on the other, which reflects the religious significance of the Byzantine Empire during that period.
