Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 125 Nummi coin is that it features an image of Justinian I, who was the Byzantine Emperor at the time of its minting. He is depicted with a long beard and a crown, symbolizing his power and authority. This coin was circulated during his reign, which lasted from 527 to 565 AD, and it was used as a means of payment and exchange throughout the Byzantine Empire. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is a significant historical artifact that provides insight into the economy, culture, and politics of the Byzantine Empire during that time period.
