Comment
Coins of Anastasius, Justin I and Justinian, normally of Constantiniple, countermarked by Heraclius.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was countermarked by Heraclius, who was the Byzantine Emperor from 610 to 641 AD. This means that the coin was issued by the Byzantine Empire, but it was also stamped with a separate mark by Heraclius, likely to indicate that it was issued under his reign. This adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin, as it provides a direct connection to a powerful leader from the past.
