Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Nummi coin from the Byzantine Empire is that it features an image of the Byzantine emperor, Constans II, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Athena on the other. This coin was minted during Constans II's reign, which lasted from 641 to 668 AD.
