Byzantine | Justinian II | Gold Solidus | NGC MS-4x2
This impressive gold solidus was issued during the second reign of Justinian II (AD 705–711), one of the most dynamic and controversial rulers of the Byzantine Empire. His coinage is especially celebrated for its bold Christian imagery and innovative portraiture.
On the obverse, Christ is depicted facing, with a cross behind His head—a continuation of the groundbreaking design first introduced during Justinian’s earlier reign. This enduring image firmly established Christianity at the heart of Byzantine coinage.
The reverse shows Justinian II standing alongside his son and co-emperor Tiberius, both holding a cross potent between them. This design emphasized dynastic continuity and imperial devotion to the Christian faith.
Certified by NGC in Mint State, with a strong Strike 4/5 and Surface 4/2, this coin preserves remarkable detail for a piece struck over 1,300 years ago.
Coins from Justinian II’s second reign remain highly desirable among collectors. They represent both political resilience and one of the most important artistic shifts in Byzantine numismatics.
A historic opportunity to acquire a certified example of this iconic type.
