Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 40 Nummi - Mauricius Tiberius (Antioch) ND (582-602) coin from the Byzantine Empire is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Maurice Tiberius, who ruled the empire from 582 to 602 AD. The coin was minted during his reign and was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the empire. Despite being made of bronze, which was a common material for coins at the time, the 40 Nummi coin was considered a high-denomination coin and was worth 40 times the value of a standard nummus coin. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact for collectors and historians today, providing a glimpse into the economic and political systems of the Byzantine Empire during the 6th century.
