Justinian I, Solidus, 545-565, Constantinople, Gold, MS, Sear:140

Helmeted and cuirassed bust facing of Justinian I, holding globus cruciger and shield decorated with horseman motif, Angel standing facing, holding globus cruciger and long staff ; star to right, An absolutely sensational coin! Although there appears to be a slight mint weakness on the angel's face, the coin was made on a wide flan, and we have every reason to wonder whether it has ever circulated in anyone's hands! The mint lustre is still present all over the coin, giving it a most unique appearance! The bust is still perfectly detailed, both in Justinian's portrait and in his military clothes!, D N IVSTINI-ANVS P P AVG, VICTORI-A AVGGG I / CONOB
