Comment
Obverse legend normally illegible.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Justinian I (Carthage; A) ND (527-565) coin is that it features an image of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I on one side and a depiction of the goddess Victory on the other. This coin was minted during Justinian's reign, which was marked by significant political and military reforms, as well as the construction of grand buildings and churches, including the famous Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. Despite being made of copper, this coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and the fact that it has been well-preserved over the centuries.
