Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Nummi coin from the Byzantine Empire is that it features an image of Emperor Mauricius Tiberius, who ruled from 582 to 602 AD. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the empire's economy and administration. The coin's design reflects the influence of Christianity during this period, as it features a cross on the reverse side. Additionally, the coin's copper material and relatively small weight of 2.8 grams make it a unique and interesting artifact from this time period.
