Comment
Obverse legend often illegible.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Justinian I (Rome; ✶✶♰✶♰✶) ND (527-565) coin from the Byzantine Empire is that it features an image of the emperor Justinian I on one side and a depiction of the Virgin Mary on the other. This coin was minted during a time of significant religious and political change in the Byzantine Empire, and the inclusion of both Christian and imperial imagery reflects the complex cultural and religious dynamics of the period.
