Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Justinian I, who was the last Roman Emperor to rule over a unified Empire. He was known for his ambitious military campaigns and his efforts to restore the Roman Empire to its former glory. This coin, which bears his name, was likely used to finance his military campaigns and other imperial projects.
