Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Maurice Tiberius, who was the King of the Lombards from 584 to 602. The coin features a depiction of Victory with a crude face and draped hair, as well as stubby tassels, which was a common design element on coins during this period. Despite being made of gold, the coin weighs only 1.23 grams, which is relatively light for a gold coin. This may indicate that it was intended for use in everyday transactions, rather than being a high-value coin.
