This is an unpublished type, and was probably struck within the reign of Theoderic (493-526).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 5 Nummi (493-526) from City of Rome (Ostrogothic Kingdom) made of Bronze weighing 1.38 g is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Justinian I on one side and a depiction of the goddess Victory on the other. This coin was minted during the reign of the Ostrogothic King Theodoric the Great, who ruled over the kingdom from 493 to 526 AD. Despite being made of bronze, this coin was still considered a valuable form of currency during its time.
