Interesting fact
The 10 Nummi coin of Constans II (Carthage) ND (643-647) from the Byzantine Empire (Byzantine states) was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it weighs only 2.21 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar denominations. This suggests that the coin may have been minted using a different method or with a different level of precision, which could make it a unique and interesting addition to a coin collection.
