Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Nummi coin featuring Justinian I is that it was issued during a time of significant economic and political change in the Byzantine Empire. Justinian I ruled during a period of territorial expansion and military conquest, and his reign saw the introduction of new laws, architecture, and artistic styles. The coin itself is made of copper and weighs 3.5 grams, which was a common weight for coins of its denomination during that time.
