Comment
Legend can vary.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Justinian I, who was the Byzantine Emperor at the time of its minting, on one side, and the symbol of the Byzantine Empire, the double-headed eagle, on the other. This coin was used as a means of currency during Justinian's reign, which saw significant changes in the empire's laws, military, and architecture.
