Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tremissis - Phocas (Constantinopolis) ND (602-610) coin from the Byzantine Empire is that it features an image of the Emperor Phocas on one side and an image of the Virgin Mary on the other. This coin was minted during a time of religious and political upheaval in the empire, and the inclusion of the Virgin Mary's image may have been a way to promote the Christian faith and solidify the empire's ties to Christianity.
