Comment
Obverse legend fragmentary and often illegible.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Justinian I (Ravenna) ND (527-565) coin is that it features an image of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I on one side and a depiction of the Roman goddess Roma on the other. This coin was minted during Justinian's reign, which saw significant changes in the Byzantine Empire, including the codification of Roman law and the construction of the Hagia Sophia. Despite being made of copper, this coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance.
