Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Heraclius, who was the Byzantine Emperor from 610 to 641 AD. During his reign, he reformed the Byzantine Empire's monetary system, introducing a new gold coin called the solidus, which became the standard for Byzantine coinage for centuries to come. The 1 Tremissis coin, which is made of gold and weighs 1.45g, is an example of this new monetary system and is a testament to the economic reforms implemented by Heraclius.
