Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Nummi coin of Justinian I is that it was issued during a time of significant economic and political change in the Byzantine Empire. The coin was minted during Justinian's reign, which lasted from 539 to 565 AD, a period marked by military campaigns, religious conflicts, and economic reforms. Despite these challenges, the Byzantine Empire continued to thrive, and the 10 Nummi coin remained a widely used denomination throughout the empire.
