Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Byzantine emperor Nikephoros I and his son Stauracius on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) bears an image of the Virgin Mary. This coin was minted during a time of great political and religious change in the Byzantine Empire, and its design reflects the cultural and religious values of the era.
