Justinian reign marked the golden twilight of the classical world and the dawn of the Byzantine era. In the capital of Constantinople, pagan myth and Christian faith were freely intertwined; creating a culture that appreciated the past and yet looked forward to the future. A man of many talents, Justinian excelled as a statesman, an architect, and a codifier of laws. This golden coin minted during his reign recalls an age of splendor. In a setting of elegant opulence, it is destined for a hand that understands the pleasures of success. - (FJ.3376)
