Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political tension between the Lombard Kingdom and the Byzantine Empire. Despite this, the coin still bears the name of Justinian II, indicating that the Lombards were recognizing the authority of the Byzantine emperor, at least nominally. This highlights the complex political dynamics of the time and the ways in which different powers were negotiating and interacting with one another.
