Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Emperor Maurice Tiberius, who ruled the Byzantine Empire from 582 to 602 AD, on one side, and the inscription "VICTORIA AVGG" (Victory of the Augusti) on the other side, indicating the coin's issuance during his reign.
