Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Justinian I, who was the Byzantine Emperor from 527 to 565 AD. This coin was part of a series of coins minted in his name, which were used to pay soldiers and civil servants. The crossed tassels on the coin symbolize the unity of the Byzantine Empire and the straight tassels represent the imperial power. Additionally, the fact that it is made of gold and weighs 1.46g suggests that it was a valuable coin during its time.
