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 Lombards were a Germanic tribe that had conquered much of Italy in the late 6th century, and this coin was part of their efforts to establish a unified currency system across their territories. The coin's design, featuring Victory with a full face and the letter N in the field, was likely meant to symbolize the Lombards' military prowess and their dominance over the region.
