40 Nummi - Mauricius Tiberius Constantinopolis

By the mid-590s, Maurice's treasury was under severe strain from simultaneous wars on two fronts — a grinding conflict with the Avars and Slavs along the Danube and the ongoing struggle to hold Byzantine positions in Italy against the Lombards. Bronze folles and half-folles from this regnal year show notable inconsistency in flan preparation, a known characteristic of Constantinople output during this stretch, likely reflecting the pressures on the imperial mint rather than any procedural change. DOC I#37 places this squarely in the later sequence of Maurice's Constantinopolitan issues, year 14 of his reign.
