Interesting fact

The Byzantine Empire, which issued this coin, was known for its complex system of currency and taxation. The Nummi, which was the coin , was a bronze coin that was introduced during the reign of Emperor Heraclius in the early 7th century. It was used as a standard circulation coin and was valued at 1/40 of a gold solidus, which was the empire's standard gold coin. The Nummi was used throughout the Byzantine Empire and was an important part of the empire's economy for centuries. I hope you find this information helpful!
