Comment
This is a seemingly unpublished type that was said to be struck from the mid- to late-7th century.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Constantine IV, who was the last Byzantine emperor to issue coins in the name of the Germanic tribes. This coin, made of gold and weighing 4.21 grams, was a standard circulation coin during that time and is a rare and valuable artifact for collectors and historians today.
