Company Description

Less than 700 years after Christ’s death, Byzantine Emperor Justinian II began feuding with the Pope and Western Church. Disagreements escalated in 692 AD when Justinian II announced a series of decrees — the most controversial being the decision to depict Christ in human form, a violation of accepted tradition that was permanently etched on the face of a coin. #JUSTINIAN is a well-preserved relic from the first time Christ appeared on a coin, minted during Justinian II’s First Reign in Constantinople. Just 3 examples have been graded higher in NGC’s population.
