Byzantine Gold - Anastasius I - 491-518 AD
This is one of three gold Byzantine coins that I have set as a pendant. It is larger than the tremissis I have listed. They have a beautiful image of a victory or angel on one side, and the emperor on the other.

VICTORIA AUGGG, Victory seated right, inscribing XX on shield; * left, Christogram right; CONOB.
Anastasius I Dicorus was Eastern Roman emperor from 491 to 518. A career civil servant, he came to the throne at the age of 61 after being chosen by the wife of his predecessor, Zeno. His reign was characterised by reforms and improvements in the government, finances, economy, and bureaucracy of the Empire. He is noted for leaving the empire with a stable government, reinvigorated monetary economy and a sizeable budget surplus, which allowed the Empire to pursue more ambitious policies under his successors, most notably Justinian I. Since many of Anastasius' reforms proved long-lasting, his influence over the Empire endured for many centuries
