Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 250 Nummi coin featuring Justinian I (Ravenna) ND (527-565) from the Byzantine Empire is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in the empire. The coin was issued during the reign of Justinian I, who implemented a number of reforms aimed at stabilizing the empire's economy and strengthening its military. Despite these efforts, the empire continued to face challenges, including inflation, corruption, and external threats. The coin's silver content and relatively low denomination suggest that it was intended for everyday use by ordinary people, rather than being a high-value coin reserved for the wealthy elite.
