Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique depiction of Victory, with a crude face and draped hair, and flowing tassels. This design was used during the reign of Maurice Tiberius, who ruled the Lombard Kingdom from 582 to 690. The use of Victory as a symbol of triumph and prosperity was a common motif in ancient coinage, but the specific design elements on this coin make it stand out from other coins of the time.
