| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing bust of Emperor Tiberius II Constantine, depicted wearing an elaborate crown adorned with pendilia and a consular loros draped across the chest, with paludamentum visible at the shoulders. The emperor is shown in a frontal, hieratic style characteristic of early Byzantine coinage, conveying imperial authority and divine mandate. A partial Latin legend encircles the bust, reading dM TIb CONSTANT P P AVG, identifying the emperor as Dominus Noster Tiberius Constantinus, Pater Patriae, Augustus. The reverse die is struck on an irregularly shaped flan typical of hammered Byzantine copper issues of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tiberius II Constantine came to power as caesar under Justin II after the latter's mental collapse — Justin suffered what contemporaries described as fits of madness, reportedly biting attendants and requiring physical restraint. Tiberius effectively governed the empire from 574 before his formal elevation as augustus. The Nicomedia mint, operating across the Bosphorus from Constantinople, was one of several provincial facilities reactivated to meet the military coinage demands of a state simultaneously fighting Persia in the east and haemorrhaging territory to the Lombards in Italy.
