Comment
This type looks like Leo or Zeno Roman copper coins, this explains its previous attribution to Justinian I like in BMC, however it has to be reattributed to Justin II.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Nummi coin of Justin II (Antioch) is that it features an image of the emperor wearing a distinctive "Pannonian" style crown, which was a type of crown used by Byzantine emperors during the 6th century. This crown design was characterized by a tall, cylindrical shape and was often adorned with gems or other precious materials. The use of this crown on the coinage of Justin II (Antioch) reflects the influence of Eastern European cultures on Byzantine art and architecture during this period.
