Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Justin II, who was the Byzantine Emperor from 565 to 578. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by the Lombard Kingdom, which was a Germanic tribe that ruled over much of Italy during the Middle Ages. The coin features an image of Victory facing right, which was a common motif on Byzantine coins of the time. Additionally, the coin is made of gold and weighs 1.40 grams, making it a valuable and rare artifact from the period.
