Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Tremissis - Mauricius Tiberius coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Maurice Tiberius (582-602 AD), who was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms, including the introduction of the "themes" system, which divided the empire into military-civilian provinces.
