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 590 to 602. The coin features an image of Victory with a full face, which was a common motif on coins during this period, and it is made of gold, which was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time. Additionally, the coin does not have the letter "N" in the field, which is a distinctive feature of this particular issue. Overall, this coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and cultural practices of the Lombard Kingdom during the late 6th century.
