THE JUSTINIAN COIN

Authentic ancient Byzantine gold solidus in mint condition, struck under Justinian I (AD 527–565) in Constantinople. Weighing 4.43g and measuring 19mm, it features the helmeted, cuirassed bust of the emperor holding a globus cruciger and shield.

Justinian the Great, known for his bold vision of renovatio imperii—the restoration of the Roman Empire—partially reclaimed lost Western territories. This coin embodies the ambition, legacy, and imperial grandeur of Byzantium at its height.
