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. Despite being minted in Lombardy, the coin still bears the name of Justinian I, indicating the influence of the Byzantine Empire in the region. Additionally, the coin features parallel tassels on both sides, which is a unique design element for coins of this era.
